How it works

  1. 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. 2

    AI captions every word

    Cliphi transcribes the speech and lays animated captions over the video, synced word by word.

  3. 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.

No caption editor, ever

Skip the play-pause-type-fix loop. You paste a link or upload a file, and the captioned clip comes back without you opening a caption editor at all.

One long video, many captioned clips

Cliphi can find the best moments in a long video and caption each one, so a single upload turns into a set of shorts instead of one file.

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.

Real clips, real reach, published to Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Captions, without typing a single word

Adding captions by hand is the worst kind of busywork. You play a second, pause, type, fix the timing, and repeat for the whole video. Cliphi does it for you. Paste a link or upload the file and it transcribes the speech and lays the captions over the video in time with what is said, so you go from raw video to captioned clip without ever opening a caption editor.

Caption styles: word-pop, highlight, fade, and bounce

Built for how short-form is watched

Most people scroll feeds with the sound off, so a clip without captions is a clip most of them never really watch. Cliphi's captions land word by word with a bit of motion, the way the clips that do well on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts look. You can match the font and colors to your brand or keep a clean default.

It handles accents, several speakers, and background noise, and works in around 99 languages, so the captions match what was actually said rather than a rough guess. And because Cliphi is a clip tool, it can also find the best moments in a long video and caption each one, so a single upload becomes a set of captioned shorts.

Done by hand this quietly eats an evening, and the payoff for getting it right is real: captioned clips get watched longer and shared more, and they reach people scrolling in a quiet office or a loud train. Cliphi turns that evening into a paste and a download, and you can still edit a word or restyle the look before you post.

Frequently asked questions

Both work. Cliphi can caption a short video you upload, or find the best moments in a long one and return captioned vertical clips.

Length is not a problem. A short clip comes back captioned in one go, and a long recording gets cut into captioned moments instead.
