Without captions, the sound-off viewer leaves

Typing subtitles by hand is roughly half an hour per minute of video. Automatic ones elsewhere hand you one endless line sitting across the speaker's mouth. Magic Captions transcribes, breaks lines at clause boundaries, and keeps them inside the safe zone of the format you are publishing to.

What you get

  • Lines cut the way a human would cut them

    Two lines maximum, about 42 characters each, broken at clause boundaries and timed so every caption stays on screen long enough to be read — not long enough to lag behind the voice.

  • Speaker detection

    Up to 6 voices separated and labeled, so an interview or a two-person testimonial reads as a conversation. Rename a speaker once and every one of their captions follows.

  • Styled, and out of the way

    Fourteen caption styles — subtitle bar, word-by-word highlight, pop-on — in your brand fonts and colors, positioned clear of the interface safe zones for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.

  • Burned in or as a subtitle file

    Render the captions into the video for social, or export .srt and .vtt for YouTube and your video platform, where subtitles stay searchable, switchable and translatable.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Select your video

    Pick a video on your Canva page. Magic Captions transcribes it in 34 languages — around 20 seconds of work for a one-minute clip.

    1

  2. Step 2

    Fix the names it mishears

    Read the transcript beside the timeline and correct what matters: a product name, a surname, a number. Edits reflow the lines automatically.

  3. Step 3

    Style it and export

    Choose a style, check it against the safe zones, then burn the captions in or download the subtitle file.

Free or Pro

Captioning a one-minute video by hand takes about half an hour. A year of Pro costs less than one of those afternoons, and covers two hours of video a month.

“Six clients, reels every week. Captions were the part I kept pushing to the evening — now they are done before I have finished writing the post.”
Marion L. — Freelance social media manager
“I caption the three-minute clips I show in class so the students at the back can follow. The free plan covers exactly that, and the text stays readable on our old projector.”
Sophie M. — History teacher
