Paste a TikTok link and download a synced caption file – an SRT or VTT you can add in your editor.

TikTokTikTok

Accepts a public TikTok link · returns a synced SRT or VTT caption file you add in your editor.

Works on public TikTok videos by transcribing their speech into a downloadable caption file – it produces clean text and an SRT/VTT sidecar, not a copy of the video, and never redistributes the video itself.

How do I generate captions for a TikTok?

To generate captions for a TikTok, paste the link into Pepys and it transcribes the speech into a synced caption file you can download as SRT or VTT, in 99+ languages.

How tiktok caption generator works

01

Paste the TikTok link

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

02

Generate the captions

Pepys transcribes the speech into timed cues and you can fix any wording inline in seconds.

03

Download SRT or VTT

Export a synced caption file to drop into CapCut, Premiere, or any editor – or grab the plain-text transcript.

Captions lift watch time and reach on TikTok, but typing and timing them by hand for every clip is a grind. Paste a link and Pepys transcribes the speech into timed cues, then hands you a synced SRT or VTT you can load into CapCut, Premiere, or your editor of choice – so you add captions in one drag instead of keying each line.

Tidy the wording inline before you export, then translate the captions into any of 99+ languages to reach viewers in other regions. We never train on your content, you can auto-delete files after, and you pay only for what you transcribe; credits never expire.
