Translate Subtitles to English
Have a video with foreign-language captions – or none at all? Get clean English subtitles, timed to the footage, ready to drop into your player.
Accepts a foreign-language video or audio file, or a link · returns English subtitles (SRT or VTT) timed to the original.
Generates a downloadable English .srt or .vtt sidecar file from the video's speech – it doesn't import an existing subtitle file, and captions are not burned into the picture.

How do I translate subtitles to English?
To translate subtitles to English, upload the foreign-language video (or paste a link) and Pepys transcribes the speech, translates it into English, and exports SRT or VTT captions that keep the original timing. The source language is auto-detected across 99+. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.
How translate subtitles to english works
Add the video or link
Upload a foreign-language video or paste a link – the spoken language is detected for you.
Translate to English captions
Pepys transcribes the speech and translates each line into English, keeping its on-screen timing.
Download SRT or VTT
Export English captions as an SRT or VTT sidecar file, ready to load into any player or editor.
When a video's only captions are in a language your audience doesn't read – or there are no captions at all – you need English subtitles that actually line up with the picture. Upload the foreign-language video or paste a link, and Pepys turns the spoken audio into English captions timed to each line, so a Spanish interview, a French lecture, or a Japanese stream is ready to caption for an English-speaking viewer.
The captions are generated from the video's own speech, not lifted from an existing subtitle track, so it works even when the clip has no subtitles to begin with. You get a downloadable SRT or VTT sidecar file with the original timing intact, the source language is auto-detected across 99+, credits never expire, and we never train on your audio.

Translate subtitles to english – questions, answered
How do I translate subtitles to English?
Upload a foreign-language video or paste a link on this page. Pepys transcribes the speech, translates it to English, and exports SRT or VTT with the original timing. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.
Can I upload an existing SRT or VTT file to translate?
Not yet – Pepys works from the video or audio itself rather than importing a subtitle file. Upload the clip and it generates translated English captions from the speech, which also means it works when the video has no subtitles at all.
Does the English subtitle timing match the video?
Yes – each translated line keeps the timing of the segment it came from, so the English captions stay in sync with what's on screen.
SRT or VTT – and what else can I export?
Export the English captions as SRT or VTT sidecar files (SRT is the most widely supported, VTT is built for the web), or take the translated text as TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, or JSON.
Do you train on my audio?
Never. We don't train AI on your audio, transcripts, or translations, and you can auto-delete your files after processing.
