Does this burn the subtitles permanently into the video, or keep them selectable?

It embeds them as a real, selectable subtitle track that viewers can toggle on or off — not permanently burned into the picture.

Does the .srt file need to be perfectly timed beforehand?

Yes, timing accuracy in the source .srt carries directly into the embedded track — use the SRT Editor first if the timestamps need adjusting.

Will the subtitles work on every platform I upload the video to?

Most major platforms and players support embedded subtitle tracks, though display behavior can vary slightly by platform.

Does Add Subtitles to Video upload my files to a server?

No. Add Subtitles to Video runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

A subtitle file (.srt) on its own doesn't do anything until it's actually embedded into a video as a selectable track, the way subtitles work on streaming platforms and most video players. This tool embeds an .srt subtitle file into a video as a real, selectable subtitle track, producing a video file where subtitles can be toggled on or off by the viewer rather than a separate file that has to be loaded manually.
