What EasyCaptions is

EasyCaptions is a web tool for transcribing video and preparing captions. It supports short and long-form transcription, as well as multilingual transcription, subtitling, and translation workflows. In its editor, users can change caption text, fonts, outlines, and animation, then export subtitles as SRT or VTT files or burn captions into the video. The listed maximum video length is 30 minutes, while plan limits range from 10 minutes on Free to two hours on Pro. The Free plan includes one processed hour per month, a 200 MB maximum upload per video, styled captions, multilingual transcription, and 1080p export; transcription is slower than on paid plans, and exports have no watermark. Paid plans add faster transcription and 4K export, with higher tiers offering larger monthly processing allowances and file limits. Usage is counted by transcription time: each transcribed second counts as one usage second, while subtitle export does not add billed usage. A 30-day trial is available. Uploaded media is retained only as long as needed to complete a request, provide results, or support temporary retry and recovery flows. Stripe processes payments, and third-party AI providers may process transcription or translation requests depending on the feature used.
