Why we built ZapSubs
A captions-first tool for short-form video: free basic exports with no watermark, start without an account, Pro when you want the look.
Most “AI caption” tools bury the free path behind watermarks, accounts, or a full video editor you did not ask for. We built ZapSubs for the last step: your cut is done — you need captions that look right on TikTok, Shorts, and Reels.
The problem
- Free tiers that stamp a watermark on the one file you need to publish.
- Sign-up walls before you can see if transcription is any good.
- Suites aimed at multi-track editing when you only needed karaoke and a clean export.
What ZapSubs is
ZapSubs is a browser caption tool. Upload a clip, get AI captions, style them, and export burned-in video or SRT/VTT. Free path first. Pro when you want animated presets. Try ZapSubs free.
