Download captions or your burned-in video
Export an SRT or VTT file to attach in Facebook's caption manager, or download a burned-in MP4 with captions already embedded in the video. A plain-text transcript is included in the same job at no extra charge. All three formats are generated from a single upload.
Why choose CentClip for Facebook?
Facebook plays videos muted by default - captions stop the scroll
Facebook autoplays videos in the feed with sound off, so viewers read before they ever tap the audio. Without captions, most of those silent-scroll viewers keep scrolling. Research consistently shows captioned Facebook videos hold attention longer - some studies report view-through lifts of 12% or more compared to uncaptioned versions. CentClip burns captions directly into the MP4 so they are visible regardless of a viewer's sound setting, and exports SRT for creators who prefer Facebook's native caption track instead.
SRT files that Facebook accepts without reformatting
Facebook's video manager lets you attach an SRT file to any uploaded video, but the timecodes have to be precise or the captions drift out of sync. CentClip generates properly formatted SRT files with word-level timing that Facebook accepts on the first upload. A creator captioning one 10-minute video pays 50 cents total at 5c/min - not $15-25/month for a subscription they may only need a few times. There is no plan to pick and no monthly quota to track.
No account required - pay only for the videos you actually caption
Most captioning tools require you to sign up, choose a plan, and enter a credit card before processing a single file. CentClip skips that entirely - upload a video, get your first 5 minutes free, and only buy credits if you need more. Credits never expire, so anything left over from one job is waiting for the next one. For a business or creator who adds captions to a Facebook video once a week or once a month, pay-as-you-go reliably costs less than the cheapest subscription on the market.
