Free Add Text to Video

It’s a tool that places words such as a title, label or call to action directly onto the frames of a video. This one burns a line or short paragraph into your clip at the position, size and color you pick, for the time range you set, and exports an MP4.

1. Click Choose files and pick your video. 2. Type your text in Headline. 3. Set the size, position, color and the Start and End times. 4. Click Create file, then click Download.

Yes. Enter Start and End in seconds, and the text shows only between those times while the rest of the video plays normally. End must be later than Start; an End past the video’s length is treated as the last frame.

Set both Horizontal position and Vertical position to 50%. The percentages move the whole text block within the frame, so 0% hugs the left or top edge and 100% the right or bottom edge without cutting the text off.

Long text wraps onto several lines, and the tool lowers the font size below your maximum until the block fits inside the frame. If it would need to go under 8 px, you’ll see a message asking for shorter text or a larger video.

The overlay uses the Noto Sans SC font, which covers English, Simplified Chinese and common Latin characters. Emoji and some scripts, such as Arabic or Thai, may not display correctly, so check the result before posting.

Yes, it’s free with no account needed. The exported MP4 contains only your video and your text; SocQ doesn’t add any logo or watermark of its own.

No. The text is drawn onto the frames by FFmpeg running in your browser, so the video stays on your device. Your browser downloads the video engine once and loads the font when you export, but your footage is never sent to SocQ.

You can open MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI and other common video files up to 100 MB and 10 minutes. The result is an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio at the original resolution, and the original sound is kept.

Yes. Open the page in a current mobile browser, choose a clip from your camera roll and export as usual. Encoding runs on the phone, so expect it to take longer than on a laptop, and keep the screen on until the download is ready.
