How do I translate a video to English?

To translate a video to English, paste a link or upload the file: Pepys transcribes the speech (source auto-detected across 99+ languages), translates it into English, and returns a timestamped transcript plus English SRT/VTT subtitles in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.

How translate video to english works

01

Paste a link or upload

Add a foreign-language video or paste a link – we strip the audio and detect the spoken language.

02

Translate to English

Pepys transcribes the speech and translates it into English with timestamps in minutes.

03

Export transcript or subtitles

Download English SRT/VTT subtitles, or the transcript as TXT, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, or JSON.

Subtitling a foreign-language video the old way means a transcription tool, a translator, and a subtitle editor. Pepys does all three from a single file: upload the video or paste a link and it transcribes the speech, translates it into English, and times the result back to the picture – ready to caption.

You get both a readable English transcript and a sidecar SRT or VTT file with cues aligned to the original video, so you can drop captions straight into your player or editor and verify any line against the footage. The spoken language is auto-detected across 99+, credits never expire, and we never train on your video.

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

Translate video to english – questions, answered

How do I translate a video to English?

Paste a link or upload the video on this page. Pepys transcribes the speech, translates it to English, and returns a transcript plus English subtitles in minutes. Your first 60 minutes are free, no card.

What languages can it translate from?

Any of 99+ – the spoken language is detected automatically, so a French, Japanese, or Arabic video all come back captioned in English with no setup.

Are the subtitles burned into the video?

No. You get a downloadable .srt or .vtt sidecar file you load alongside the video, so the picture is untouched and you can re-edit or swap the captions anytime.

Which video formats and links work?

MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI and more, plus links. We extract the audio, transcribe it, and translate the result to English.

Is my video private?

Yes. We never train AI on your video, transcripts, or translations, and you can auto-delete files after processing.
