Export Your Captioned Video or Subtitle File
Download a finished MP4 with captions burned directly into the frame, ready to upload to TikTok as-is. You can also export an SRT or VTT file if you prefer to add captions inside TikTok Studio, or download a plain-text transcript to repurpose your content elsewhere.
Why choose CentClip for TikTok?
Burned-in captions reach viewers who scroll with sound off
More than 60% of TikTok videos are watched without audio, and TikTok's native auto-caption feature can be toggled off by the viewer or unavailable in certain regions. Burned-in captions guarantee every viewer can read your content regardless of their settings. CentClip processes your video in under a minute and bakes captions directly into the MP4 frame, so you upload once and the captions are always there.
Pay per video - not per month regardless of volume
Most caption tools are priced as $15-$25/month subscriptions built for daily power users. If you're captioning a few TikToks a week, you're funding capacity you never touch. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute - a typical 2-minute TikTok costs 10 cents. Credits never expire, so buying a batch in advance carries no risk of waste if your posting schedule slows down.
Transcribes in 50+ languages - no translation step required
TikTok's creator base spans dozens of languages, and CentClip transcribes natively in 50+ of them. If you create content in Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, or Korean, you get captions in the same language your audience speaks - not an English transcript run through a secondary translation tool. Each language is treated as a first-class transcription target, which keeps accuracy high on non-English speech patterns.
