Add subtitles to a video in your browser

Filzy lets you add subtitles to a video to burn subtitles directly into a video from an SRT or VTT file, ensuring captions are always visible regardless of player. The tool runs ffmpeg.wasm directly inside your browser tab, so your video file is decoded and re-encoded on your CPU without ever uploading to a server. The output is an MP4 with subtitles permanently rendered into the frames (hard subs), playable on any device. Filzy supports MP4, MOV, WebM (+ SRT/VTT) as input. The free tier processes 3 files without an account; signing up unlocks unlimited use, with no daily cap and no watermark.

Files stay on your device

Decoding, processing, and re-encoding all happen in a Web Worker via ffmpeg.wasm. The video bytes never reach a server, no temporary copy is stored anywhere.

Local CPU speed

WebAssembly delivers near-native performance on your CPU. A 5-minute clip typically processes in 1 to 3 minutes on a modern laptop, depending on the operation.

No upload, no daily cap

Skip the multi-minute upload that plagues server-based tools. The bottleneck moves to your CPU, where you have full control. No daily limit, no watermark.
