How to add text to a video
- Drop the video. A frame is shown so you can see where the text will sit.
- Write and style the text. Multiple lines are fine. Pick a position, size, colour and font, and the time range it should be visible.
- Render and download. The frames are re-encoded with the text drawn on them.

Questions people ask
Can I add several pieces of text?
Run the tool once per text. After downloading, choose “Continue with another tool” to add the next one without leaving the page.
Can the text show only for a few seconds?
Yes. Set the start and end time. Leave them at the defaults to keep the text on for the whole video.
Does the text look sharp?
It is rendered at the video’s full resolution with an outline for readability, then encoded together with the picture.
