Add unique voiceovers without additional costs

Create, enhance, and edit professional voice recordings in a single online browser

Take full creative control of your voiceover

Typically, crafting high-quality voiceovers means mastering multiple tools — one for recording, one for editing, and one to integrate audio and video. This process is not only time-consuming but also increases the risk of errors in your content. Kapwing simplifies the entire workflow with its online voiceover to video tool, allowing you to not only record, but immediately edit the recording with a range of audio enhancement features.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including from the Record Voice tool — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations. You'll also gain access to unlimited cloud storage and 300 minutes of auto-subtitling per month.

Is Kapwing's Voice Record tool free?

Yes, Kapwing's voiceover to video tool is free for all users and includes a built-in teleprompter that makes it easy to sync your voiceover with any video. However, to access features like Clean Audio, auto-subtitling, and translations, you'll need to upgrade to a Pro account.

How do you record a voiceover for YouTube videos?

You can record a voiceover to a YouTube video using a variety of web-based tools that range in complexity and cost. Kapwing's Record Voice tool is free and is designed to help simplify syncing voiceover to explainer videos, virtual event recaps, product demos, and more.

Start by simply uploading a video to the Kapwing online editor and start recording a voiceover for your video as you watch it. Utilize the built-in teleprompter to help ensure a smooth delivery. If the video you'd like to update is already on YouTube, you can copy and paste the link into Kapwing to begin adding a voiceover.

What apps can I use to do a voiceover?

There are several apps available online to make video voiceovers with that can be accessed via desktop or mobile devices. They're user interfaces range in complexity, some are open-source, and others require monthly or annual subscriptions.

Kapwing is a cloud-based audio and video editing platform that's accessible on almost any device and also free to try. The platform's built-in Online Voiceover to Video tool is versatile — in a few clicks, you can create lengthy commentaries for YouTube videos or short and snappy voiceovers for TikToks.

Can I record a voiceover on an iPhone?

Yes, it is possible to record a voiceover on an iPhone using the Voice Memos app, which comes standard with iOS. Voice Memos is a fairly reliable option for recording good quality audio directly on your iPhone. After recording, you can make light edits or upload your file to a more advanced editing platform like Kapwing to trim it precisely or sync it with video.

To record audio, simply open Voice Memos, find a quiet space, and start recording with the red button. You can pause, stop, or resume the recording at any time, and then name your file for easy access. Afterward, you can trim, adjust playback speed, or remove silences and filler using Kapwing, then share the recording via email, messaging, or AirDrop.

How do I make a voiceover on TikTok?

Voiceovers have become a popular trend on TikTok, offering content creators a way to upgrade their videos without needing to appear on camera. To add a voiceover on TikTok, you can either use in-app tools or, for more versatility, an online video editor like Kapwing.

To record within TikTok, tap the plus (+) button to create a video, then press the microphone icon to begin recording your voiceover while the video plays. You can stop and start the recording as needed. If you want to record manually, open the Voice tool in TikTok’s editor, then press the Record button to narrate along with your video. After recording, add voice effects to change the tone or disguise your voice for privacy.

What audio files does Kapwing work with?

Kapwing's Online Voiceover to Video tool works with a wide variety of popular file types for audio, including MP3, WAV, MKV, WebM, FLAC, and OGG. You can also upload M4A files and either play them or convert them to MP3, though Kapwing's media library can't save M4As for you. Note that audio exports in Kapwing will always be MP3, as we feel this format represents the best tradeoff between file size and quality.
