Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract TikTok captions?

Does this work if the TikTok has no captions?
Yes! If the video doesn't have captions, we generate them from the audio using AI speech recognition.

You can copy the text to clipboard or download as SRT, TXT, or PDF, which works with all major video editing software.
Can I use extracted captions on my own videos?
The captions are provided as text and can be used however you like - for inspiration, analysis, or adding to your own content.
Cross-Posting with Captions
Extract TikTok captions and use them across all your social platforms for consistent, accessible content.
Using Captions on Instagram Reels
Instagram Reels perform better with captions - they increase watch time and engagement. After extracting your TikTok captions, you can import the SRT file directly into CapCut or InShot to add matching captions to your Reel. Keep the same timing and styling for a professional look, or customize the font to match your Instagram aesthetic. Many creators report 30-40% higher engagement on captioned Reels compared to non-captioned ones.
Using Captions on YouTube Shorts
YouTube Shorts supports subtitle files during upload. Extract your TikTok captions as SRT, then upload the file when posting your Short. YouTube will automatically display the captions to viewers. This is especially valuable for reaching viewers who watch with sound off - which is most mobile viewers. Pro tip: YouTube's algorithm favors Shorts with captions because they're more accessible.
Adding Captions to Reposts
When sharing TikTok content across platforms or reposting viral videos, captions ensure your audience can follow along regardless of their audio settings. Extract the original captions to maintain accuracy, then burn them into the video using your editor of choice. This keeps the content accessible while maintaining the original timing and context.
Quick Tips for Cross-Platform Captions
- Match the style: Instagram favors bold, centered captions. YouTube works better with traditional subtitle positioning.
- Check the timing: If you've trimmed or edited the video, you may need to adjust caption timestamps.
- Consider translation: Expand your reach by translating captions for international audiences.
- Keep text short: Each caption line should be readable in 1-2 seconds for fast-paced content.
