# Add Captions to a TikTok

Paste or upload your video and Cliphi adds TikTok-style word-pop captions automatically, synced to every word.

## How it works

1. **Paste a link or upload your video** Drop in a supported video link or upload a file. Cliphi pulls the audio and reads what is said.
2. **AI captions every word** Cliphi transcribes the speech and lays animated captions over the video, synced word by word.
3. **Style it, then post** Pick a caption style and tweak the font, color, size, and position, or keep the default. Then download or publish to your socials.

## Why Cliphi

- **Looks native in the feed** Word-pop captions animate one word at a time, the look almost every TikTok already has, so your clip reads as part of the feed instead of bare.
- **Clean export, no watermark** TikTok's own caption tool makes you stop and type each line, and some apps stamp a logo. Cliphi adds the captions automatically and exports with no watermark.
- **Watchable on mute** Most short-form gets watched with the sound off. On-screen captions are usually the difference between someone watching and someone scrolling past.

## The word-pop captions every TikTok has

Open TikTok and almost every clip has captions popping up one word at a time. That is not a coincidence. The sound is off for a lot of viewers, and the moving captions hold attention in the first second. Cliphi adds exactly that style for you, transcribing the speech and animating the captions word by word, so your clip looks native in the feed instead of bare.

## No manual captioning, no watermark

TikTok's own caption tool means stopping to type and time each line, and some apps stamp a watermark on the export that the feed quietly buries. Cliphi adds the captions automatically and exports clean, so the clip reads as something you made. Pick the word-pop style or another look, and match the font and colors to your brand.

It \[transcribes\]\(/tools/transcribe-youtube-video\) with models that handle accents, several speakers, and background noise, in around 99 languages. And because Cliphi is a clip tool, you can hand it a long video and get back \[captioned vertical clips ready for TikTok\]\(/tools/youtube-to-tiktok\), not just captions on a single file.

Speed matters on TikTok, where posting often is half the game. Captioning each clip by hand is exactly the friction that stops people posting daily, so handing it to Cliphi keeps you moving. Paste, pick a style, post, and do it again, without the part where you stop to type out every line and nudge the timing.

## FAQ

### Will the clip have a watermark?

No. Cliphi exports a clean clip with no app logo, so it does not get treated as a recycled repost when you post it to TikTok.

### Can I keep posting daily without the captioning slowdown?

That is the point. Captioning each clip by hand is the friction that stops daily posting, so you paste, pick a style, and post again without typing out every line.

### Which languages work?

Around 99 languages, the full set Whisper supports, with the language detected for you.
