Spanish subtitles
Translate video to Spanish with the subtitles built in
Upload a video in any language, pick Spanish (Español), and download it with the subtitles burned in. Spanish typically runs longer than English, so a line that fit in the original often needs splitting.
What you get back
- Your video as an MP4 with the Spanish subtitles burned into the picture, so they play everywhere without a separate file.
- A Spanish SRT file you can upload wherever soft subtitles are supported.
- An SRT in the original spoken language, so you have both sides of the translation.
- Plain TXT transcripts of both, for show notes, blog posts, or search.
How Spanish subtitles get made

What is different about Spanish subtitles
Spanish typically runs longer than English, so a line that fit in the original often needs splitting.
- Questions and exclamations open with an inverted mark as well as closing with one. Dropping the opening ¿ or ¡ is a clear sign of a careless subtitle.
- ñ is its own letter, and the accents on á, é, í, ó, and ú carry stress that distinguishes words. Losing one can turn a past tense into a present tense.
- Latin American and European Spanish differ in vocabulary and in the second person. Translation targets a neutral Spanish that reads correctly in both.
Formality in Spanish
tú is informal and usted is formal, and much of Latin America uses ustedes where Spain uses vosotros.

Can I get Spanish subtitles on a video that is not in Spanish?
Yes, that is the normal case. The speech is transcribed in whatever language it was spoken, and the transcript is translated into Spanish. You do not have to tell it what the source language is.
Do I get a Spanish subtitle file as well as the video?
Yes. Every job returns the video with subtitles burned in, plus SRT and TXT files for both the original language and Spanish, so you can reuse the Spanish text elsewhere.
Will Latin characters render correctly in the video?
Yes. Subtitles are burned into the picture after the text has been shaped and laid out, so what you see in the editor is what ends up in the MP4. Accents and special letters survive the burn-in.
Can I fix the Spanish wording before I download?
Yes, on the Pro and Studio plans. You can edit the text and timings in the subtitle editor, trim the clip, and reburn before downloading.
