Generate styled, burned-in subtitles at scale with our Subtitle API
Vidione's Subtitle API accepts a video URL, transcribes the audio, applies a chosen style preset, and sends back a video with captions rendered directly into the frames. No manual timing, no separate design pass, and no rendering pipeline to assemble. Submit one job and receive a finished MP4.
Automate high-volume caption workflows for social ads, daily channel uploads, and short-form content. Language detection is automatic, while optional SRT input lets you bypass transcription whenever a transcript already exists. Jobs run asynchronously with status polling, so your application stays responsive.
How to use the Subtitle API:
Step 02
Apply a style preset
Choose a ready-made caption treatment or pass custom fonts, colors, and positioning. Vidione detects the language, aligns the words, and formats the captions for rendering.
Step 03
Poll for the styled video
Receive a job ID immediately, then poll the status endpoint until processing is complete. The final response is a styled MP4 ready for social, video platforms, or your own product.

End-to-end subtitle generation in one API call
Many caption services stop after returning a transcript. Turning that text into a styled video usually means adding timestamp alignment, line-break rules, visual design, frame rendering, and export logic yourself. Vidione handles the complete chain in one request: send a video, receive a polished MP4, and ship your caption feature in days rather than weeks.
Battle-tested subtitle styles, ready out of the box
Start with a library of caption treatments designed for readable viewing across portrait, landscape, and square formats. Each preset balances type scale, spacing, contrast, and placement for content watched on mute. Choose a style for talking-head videos, user-generated ads, or fast social cuts, and receive consistent on-brand captions without another round of design work.
Built for high-volume, async video pipelines
The Subtitle API uses an asynchronous job model, so batches do not block your application. Submit a job, get its ID in milliseconds, and poll until the render completes. Automatic language detection supports every aspect ratio, while an optional SRT parameter lets you replace transcription. Process long-form archives, daily uploads, or recordings in parallel with predictable duration-based costs.
FAQ
A Subtitle API adds captions to video programmatically. You send a source file or URL, and the service returns a video with subtitles permanently rendered into its frames. Vidione focuses on automatically generated, styled captions delivered as a finished MP4. Read more about how APIs fit into modern video workflows in our workspace guide.
