Text on Video: Reels & Shorts

Add text to video in seconds. Text on Video is the easy caption maker for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok videos.

Pick a clip, type your text, drag it anywhere on the video, and export in HD. Everything renders right on your phone, so your videos never leave your device. No account, no sign up, no waiting.

VIRAL CAPTION STYLES
Tap to apply caption presets inspired by the text you see on every viral video: clean white text, bold boxed labels, yellow creator style captions, red alert boxes, black bold titles, and more. Make captions that look like they belong on the For You page. Switching styles keeps your font and size, so you can try every look in seconds.

FONTS FOR EVERY MOOD
Add text with beautiful fonts, from timeless classics to modern favorites: Inter, Montserrat, Poppins, Playfair Display, Lora, Courier Prime, Anton, Bebas Neue, Oswald, Pacifico, Caveat, and more. Elegant serif, clean sans, bold display, and handwritten script styles are all built in, with nothing extra to download.
