Search & Replace

Pronunciation Rules

Clumsy AI pronunciation can ruin a great video. Use phonetics to teach the dubbing tool how to pronounce difficult or branded terms correctly.

Custom Spellings

Add Custom spelling rules for your subtitles. Simply time up the spelling replacements you want and Kapwing will save them for all future projects.

Keep every translation editable

Stay flexible with online projects you can update any time

Review and refine every translated video

AI translation gives you a starting point, not a locked final version. Kapwing keeps translated dialogue, subtitles, and video together in the same project, so you can review each change in context and refine the localized version before publishing.

Edit the translated transcript to correct wording or add context, then regenerate the affected voiceover without starting the translation again. Adjust subtitle timing when translated sentences run longer or shorter, refine pronunciation and pacing, and preview the finished video as you work.

Once the translation is ready, make any final video edits in the same project and export the localized version in up as MOV, MP4, or WebM in up to 4K without moving files between separate translation and editing tools.

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.

Excellent subtitling features

[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Natasha Ball

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.

[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

●Just the FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Is the Video Translator free to use?

Yes, our online Video Translator tool is free for all users to try, including a limited number of minutes for subtitles, translated subtitles, auto-dubbing, and lip sync. With a Pro Account upgrade, you’ll get extended monthly minutes along with access to Voice Cloning.

Is there a watermark on exports?

If you are using a Free Account, then all your exports — including from the online Video Translator — will include a small watermark. After upgrading to a Pro Account, the watermark will be removed from all videos.

Can I translate an audio file?

Yes, with Kapwing's Audio Translator you can upload a separate audio file, dub the spoken audio, and then download it as an MP3. Alternatively, you can download the transcript or subtitles file.

Why should I translate a video?

There are many of reasons to translate a video, but these are three key ones:

Audience Expansion: Translation gives you the ability to instantly reach huge global audiences you'd otherwise never reach, massively increasing your pool of potential followers and subscribers. For example, you can translate video to Hindi, the primary language of India, which has nearly twice the YouTube viewership of the US (only about 10% of the world's population speaks English natively).
Better Discoverability: Translated content can be indexed in multiple languages by search engines like Google and YouTube, so translating your video immediately improves your video's SEO and discoverability for anyone who searching for content in your niche.
Improved Monetization: By speaking to new language communities, you open the door to exponential monetary growth. YouTube, for instance, pays creators based on ad revenue, meaning your earning potential naturally grows as your content becomes available to a far broader viewership.

What is the difference between dubbing and lip sync?

Dubbing is a post-production process where the original audio track of a video is replaced with a new recording, typically in a different language. This technique is commonly used to make content accessible to audiences who speak different languages.

Lip syncing involves aligning the new audio track with the lip movements of the on-screen actors. This process is crucial in dubbing to maintain the illusion that the actors are speaking the translated dialogue naturally. Accurate lip syncing enhances the viewing experience by making the dubbed content feel more realistic and seamless.

How long does it take to translate a video?

With Kapwing’s translation flow, translating a video into a new language typically takes just a few minutes — though timing may vary based on video length.

How many languages can Kapwing translate my video into?

Kapwing supports translation into over 100 languages for subtitles, with support for AI Voice Dubbing in 40+ languages.

Can I choose the voice for dubbing?

Yes, you can recreate the original voice, clone your own, or choose from a library of AI-generated voices with different accents and tones.

How accurate is the video translator?

Kapwing prides itself on delivering highly accurate translations, citing up to 99% accuracy. Unlike other video translators, it also lets you add custom spellings and pronunciations with the Translation Rules feature to ensure complete accuracy.

Can I translate music video lyrics?

Yes, you can translate lyrics by uploading an audio or video file, or by pasting a URL link to a music video. Open "Subtitles" from the left toolbar and click "Auto-subtitles". Choose an original language and a new output language. Within a couple of minutes a subtitle layer will be generated displaying the translated song lyrics. For improved results, try using our Remove Vocals tool that can separate the vocals and instrumentals.
