Add text to a video in a few clicks
Put a headline on a Reel, a name under a speaker, a price on a product clip or a call to action at the end. What you see in the preview is exactly what gets saved.
The preview shows the text exactly as it will be saved. Leave the times as they are to show it for the whole video.
To add text to a video, open it here and type your text (up to six lines). Choose top, middle or bottom, small, medium or large, a colour, and a style: a box behind the text, an outline, or plain. Set when the text shows, or leave it for the whole video. The preview shows the text on the video; click Add text and save and the browser records the video with the text burned in and the sound kept, as MP4 where it can and WebM otherwise.
