How do I generate an SRT file?

How srt generator works
Upload media or paste a link
Drop in any audio or video file, or paste a link – we extract the audio automatically.
Get timed SRT cues
AI transcribes the speech into timestamped, numbered cues formatted as standard SRT, ready in minutes.
Export the .srt
Download a ready-to-use .srt – or export the same transcript to VTT, TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, or JSON instead.
Captions need more than the right words – they need the right timing, so each line appears exactly when it's spoken. Pepys handles both: upload your audio or video, or paste a link, and it transcribes the speech into numbered, time-coded cues and exports a standard .srt that drops straight into YouTube, Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci, or VLC – no hand-syncing.
Because it's a real sidecar file and not subtitles burned into a frame, you keep full control – restyle, reposition, or translate the captions in your editor whenever you like. It works in 99+ languages, labels speakers, handles long files by chunking and stitching, and never trains on your audio. Pay only for what you transcribe; credits never expire.

Srt generator – questions, answered
How do I generate an SRT file?
Upload your audio or video or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes the speech into timed cues and exports a standard .srt in minutes – your first 60 minutes are free, no card required.
Will the subtitles be timed correctly?
Yes – each cue carries a proper start and end time in HH:MM:SS,mmm format. Long files are chunked and stitched so the timing stays accurate from the first line to the last.
Does it burn the subtitles into the video?
No – it produces a downloadable .srt sidecar file. You add it to your video in your editor or player, keeping the styling and positioning under your control.
Can I get VTT instead?
Yes – export the same transcript as VTT, plus TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, and JSON. Choose whichever sidecar format your platform expects.
Can I make subtitles in another language?
Yes – language is auto-detected across 99+ languages, and you can translate the finished transcript before exporting your .srt.
