An SRT generator that works from a link: paste a public video and download timed subtitles, ready for any editor.
Converting a video to SRT means writing down what is said and when, in the plain subtitle format every editor and player understands. ViralDrop does it from a link. Paste a public TikTok, Instagram Reel, YouTube or Facebook video and it transcribes the speech, times each line to the audio, and gives you an SRT file to download. The same result also saves as WebVTT, the format web players use.
Each cue in the file has a number, a start and end time to the millisecond, and the line that is spoken. This is a real excerpt of the SRT ViralDrop exported for one of the example videos above, cues 5 to 7, unedited.

And it was October, it wasn't like mid-winter.

I would blast up the heating.

When someone else was in the house, I would realise it was like a sauna.

Import the file into a video editor, or upload it as the subtitle track of a video, and each line appears at exactly those times.
The speech is transcribed by AI, so a video with no captions at all still gets a full subtitle file.
Download SRT for editors and VTT for web players from the same result, without running the video again.
Cue times come from the audio itself, so each subtitle line appears while its words are spoken.
There is no file to upload and wait on. Paste a public link from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or Facebook.
The subtitle file is part of the transcript, which is priced per started 10 minutes of video. The SRT and VTT downloads add nothing.
If the video is private or cannot be fetched, the credits return to your balance automatically.
Bring subtitles into a timeline in one import, then restyle them, instead of typing and timing every line by hand.
Pull an SRT from your own TikTok or Reel and upload it with the video when you repurpose it for another platform, so the post is readable with the sound off.
Start from a timed file in the original language, translate the lines, and keep every timing as it was.
An SRT is the transcript in subtitle form. The same link can also give you an analysis of why the video worked, or a rewrite of its script for your product.
Copy the video's public link, paste it at the top of this page and press the button. When the transcript appears, use its download button and choose SRT. The file downloads with a timing on every line.
You can start free. New accounts get 5 welcome credits after signing in to ViralDrop, and a video under 10 minutes costs 2 credits to transcribe and export.
Yes. The SRT is made from the spoken audio, not from existing captions. The video needs speech in it: a clip with only music produces no subtitle lines.
Yes. The same result downloads as WebVTT as well. Both files hold the same lines and timings; SRT suits video editors, and VTT suits players on the web.
No. ViralDrop works from public links to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook videos. For your own video, paste the link of the public post it is published in.
No. You get a separate subtitle file, which editors and players show on top of the video. That keeps the text editable and lets viewers switch it off.
Yes. An SRT file is plain text, so any text editor or subtitle tool can open it to fix a word or change a timing before you use it.
A transcript costs 2 credits for each started 10 minutes of video. Downloading it as SRT or VTT costs nothing extra, and copying the text is included too.
Up to 120 minutes. A longer video costs more because the transcript is priced per started block of 10 minutes, and the SRT covers the whole of it in one file.
No. Only public videos can be fetched. Private, deleted or region-locked videos return an error, and a failed run gives its credits back automatically.
Paste a public video link at the top of this page and download the subtitles.
