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.
