Subtitle Extraction Made Simple and Powerful
Filmora's Subtitle Extractor gives you the freedom to extract, edit, and export subtitles from popular video formats—all without leaving your editing workspace.
Automatic Detection & Selective Extraction
Our subtitle extractor automatically scans your video file and displays all available subtitle tracks. Whether you need to extract all captions or just one specific language, you can choose exactly what you want—making it ideal for multilingual projects or targeted edits.
Support for Popular Formats
No need to worry about compatibility. You can extract subtitles from MKV, MP4, MOV, and other common formats without conversion. Our subtitle extraction tool works with almost any popular video file.
Editable Subtitles in Filmora
Once extracted, subtitles appear directly in your Media Library. Drag them onto the timeline to edit text, timing, or styling just like any other element in your project. No external tools, no file juggling—just smooth, integrated editing.
Export as Standalone Subtitle Files
Need subtitles for translation, collaboration, or uploading separately? Export the extracted subtitles as .SRT or .ASS files. You'll have clean, reusable subtitle files that work across platforms.
How To Extract Subtitles From a Video
Subtitle extraction in Filmora is designed to be effortless, even for beginners.
Subtitle Extractor for Every Scenario
No matter if you're an editor, translator, student, or content creator, Filmora's Subtitle Extractor helps you overcome common subtitle challenges with simple, integrated solutions.
Video Editors & Enthusiasts
Embedded subtitles are often locked inside video files, making it difficult to correct errors, adjust timing, or restyle captions. With Filmora, you can extract subtitle tracks directly from MKV, MP4, or MOV files, edit them on the timeline, and fine-tune them just like any other element in your project—no need to juggle external tools.
Subtitle Translators
Translators frequently need original subtitles in a reusable format, but pulling them out of videos can be complex. Our closed caption extractor simplifies the process by letting you detect all subtitle tracks and export them as .SRT or .ASS files in seconds, ready for translation and reintegration into multilingual projects.
Students & Researchers
Taking notes from recorded lectures or interviews can be frustrating if you have to transcribe subtitles manually. Filmora's Subtitle Extractor enables you to extract subtitles directly from videos and save them as editable .srt or .ass files, turning hours of transcription into a quick, accurate export that's perfect for study and research.
Content Re-Creators
Repurposing or analyzing content often requires access to the video's script, but manual transcription slows you down. With our subtitle extractor tool, you can export subtitles instantly, giving you ready-made text for quoting, adapting, or creating fresh social media edits without wasting time.
