How it works

Three steps. That's the whole thing.

  1. Choose a font — Open the font dialog, search or filter by group, and see a line of your own captions drawn in each font before you pick. On paid plans you can upload your own font too.
  2. Set size, case and color — A− and A+ change the size, Aa cycles Normal, UPPER and lower case, and a color picker sets the text color.
  3. Place and export — Drag the captions up or down on the preview, pick 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, and export. Your last style becomes the default for your next project.
In detail

What you get

A font dialog that shows your captions

Search by name and filter by group: Sans-serif, Serif, Display, Script, Georgian, Hindi, Gujarati and My fonts. Each font shows a line of your project's own captions, so you see the result before choosing.

Upload your own font

On paid plans, upload up to 10 fonts as .ttf, .otf, .woff or .woff2. They appear under My fonts, work in the preview and the export, and are private to your account.

Size, case and color

Step the size up or down, switch to upper or lower case, and pick any text color. A soft drop shadow keeps text readable over any cover.

Drag to position

Grab the caption in the preview and drag it to the height you want, whether that is above a logo, under a face or dead centre.

16:9, 9:16 and 1:1

Pick widescreen, vertical or square with one click; the caption layout adapts and the export matches the preview.

Reset and remember

One click restores the default look. Otherwise the style you used last is carried into your next project automatically.

Why it matters

Burned-in captions are part of the design of a video, not an afterthought, and a caption that looks wrong is worse than none. CaptionFit keeps the controls small and visible: font, size, case, color, position, format. Everything else stays out of the way.

For lyric videos, pair a style with karaoke captions so the active word stands out, or to word-by-word captions to show one word at a time. When the look is right, export the video renders the captions exactly as previewed, in 1920×1080, 1080×1920 or 1080×1080.

FAQ

Common questions

Which fonts can I use for captions?
Dozens of fonts in groups: Sans-serif, Serif, Display and Script for Latin text, plus dedicated Georgian, Hindi and Gujarati groups. The font dialog has a search box and shows a line of your own captions drawn in each font. On paid plans you can also upload your own.
Can I upload my own font?
Yes, on paid plans. In the font dialog choose Upload font, pick a .ttf, .otf, .woff or .woff2 file and give it a name. It appears under My fonts and works in the preview and the exported video. You can keep up to 10 and delete them from the dialog. Your fonts are private: only you can see and use them. Before uploading you confirm you have the right to use the font in videos you publish. If you later leave your paid plan, the fonts you uploaded stay usable; you just can't add new ones.
Can I change the caption color and size?
Yes. Choose any text color with the color picker, step the size up or down with A− and A+, and switch between Normal, UPPER and lower case with the Aa button.
Can I move the captions to a different part of the frame?
Yes. Drag the caption up or down in the preview to place it where you want. The export uses the same position.
Do captions look the same in the export as in the preview?
Yes. The preview is a live rendering of the same style settings the export uses, in the same 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 frame.
Are there caption templates or presets?
No preset gallery. Instead, the style you used last is remembered and applied to your next project, and Reset takes you back to the default look at any time.
