Make SRT captions from a TikTok video
An SRT file is a timed caption list: index, start → end, then the line. CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, and Descript ingest it directly. This site builds SRT from either TikTok captions or an AI transcript of the audio.
Copy the TikTok link
In the TikTok app, open the video, tap Share, and copy the link. On desktop, open the video and copy the address bar. Paths often look like /@user/video/. Short vm.tiktok.com links also work. The video must be public.
Generate timed text
- Paste the URL into the tool.
- Leave the time range at 0–15 minutes. Almost every TikTok fits.
- Use Extract if you want TikTok’s caption timing. Use AI if those captions are missing or in the wrong language.
- Download SRT. VTT is the web equivalent if you are embedding a player.
Drop it into an editor
If timings feel early or late by a fraction of a second, that usually comes from TikTok’s caption file, not from the download step. AI timing follows the audio clip you selected.
Accessibility vs. style
SRT from speech-to-text is a first draft. Clean names, add punctuation, and split long lines before you publish. This tool will not burn captions onto pixels; it only gives you the timed text.
