How to add subtitles
to Instagram Reels.
To add subtitles to Reels, open the video in a captions app, pick the spoken language, generate captions, fix any word, choose a style and export before posting. In Sorelo it's one tap.
Add subtitles to a Reel, step by step
- 01
Open your video
Pick the clip from your gallery in Sorelo or any captions app. Vertical 9:16 fits Reels.
- 02
Choose the spoken language
Pick the language you speak. Add a second one if you want the subtitles translated.
- 03
Generate the subtitles
In Sorelo, tap Generate and every word lands on your voice. Most apps call it Auto captions.
- 04
Fix any word
Tap a word to fix names, slang or brand terms. The timing stays put.
- 05
Pick a style and placement
Choose a style and keep the text clear of the bottom, where Instagram shows your caption and buttons.
- 06
Export and post
Save to your gallery and share the Reel. Need a subtitle file too? Export an SRT.
Subtitles people actually read
Put them in the video
Subtitles in the video show on every screen, sound on or off, in your own style.
Keep lines short
Two lines at most, a few words each, so the eye keeps up.
Mind the safe zone
Keep text away from the bottom and right edges, where Instagram's buttons sit.
Let the key word pop
Word-by-word styles pull the eye to the word you're saying now.
