Auto captions
Automatic captions, word by word.
ClipSquad listens to your clip and writes captions that light up word by word, in sync with what is said. Choose your style, fix a word if needed and export.
Caption styles
- Pop: the spoken word lights up, the popular TikTok look.
- Classic: white letters with an outline, clean and readable.
- Box: text on a black background, readable on any video.
- Your own font and colours, including TikTok Sans, Montserrat, Poppins, Bebas Neue and more.
- Emojis next to strong words, if you want.
