Frequently asked questions
How do I add captions to a YouTube video?
Paste the YouTube URL and Picute transcribes the audio and generates timed captions for it — you do not need to download the video first.
Can I download the captions as a file?
Yes. Download the captions as an SRT file to upload in YouTube Studio, or burn them directly into a copy of the video for re-posting as Shorts, Reels or TikToks.
Can I translate the captions into other languages?
Yes. Translate the captions into other languages to open the video up to international viewers, keeping the timing aligned with the speech.
Does it work for long videos?
Yes. There is no length limit, so a short clip and a multi-hour stream or podcast episode are both captioned in full.
Can it label different speakers?
Yes — enable speaker diarization and the captions identify who is speaking, which is useful for interviews and panel discussions.
