How facebook video captions works

01

Paste the video link

Copy a public Facebook video URL and paste it in – nothing to install.

02

Generate the captions

Pepys transcribes the audio and aligns it into timed caption cues in minutes.

03

Download SRT or VTT

Tweak the text inline if needed, then export an SRT or VTT file to upload to Facebook.

Most people watch Facebook videos on mute, so captions decide whether anyone actually follows along. Paste a public video link and Pepys transcribes the audio and times it into caption cues – then hands you a clean SRT or VTT file you can upload right back to Facebook, no manual typing or guessing at timings.

Because it starts from an accurate, timestamped transcript, the cues land on the right words instead of drifting. It works in 99+ languages, you can edit any line before exporting, and you pay only for the minutes you caption – credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.

Clean paragraphs. No more um's and ah's.

The left is what Pepys hands back – logical paragraphs with the filler stripped out, punctuated and readable. The right is the raw, one-line-per-segment dump most transcribers leave you with.

um so yeah everyone keeps telling you to like lead with your best line right but uh honestly if you give away the whole answer in the first second you know there's basically no reason for anyone to keep watching so the hook isn't kind of the smartest thing you say it's like a loop you open that they need to close and um that's the part that actually keeps people around

Facebook video captions – questions, answered

How do I generate captions for a Facebook video?

Paste the public video link on this page. Pepys transcribes the audio, times it into cues, and exports an SRT or VTT file you can upload to Facebook. No signup needed to try it.

What caption format do I get?

A downloadable SRT or VTT sidecar file with accurate timestamps. It's a separate caption file, not subtitles burned into the video – Facebook lets you attach it to your upload.

Can I edit the captions before downloading?

Yes – edit any line inline to fix names or wording, then export the SRT or VTT. The timestamps stay aligned to the audio.

Can I caption a video in another language?

Yes. Language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the transcript before exporting captions in another language.

Is it free?

You can try it with no signup, and your first 60 minutes are free with a free account – no card. After that it's pay-as-you-go and credits never expire.
