How to add text to a video
Type your caption, style it, and download a captioned MP4 — all in your browser.
- 1
Drop in your video
Drag in or browse for an MP4, WebM or MOV. It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
- 2
Type your text
Add your caption, title or call-to-action. Keep it short and punchy so it reads at a glance.
- 3
Style it
Choose the font size, the text colour, and turn on a background band so the words stay readable over any footage.
- 4
Pick a position
Place the text at the top, middle or bottom of the frame — bottom is the classic spot for captions.
- 5
Add the text and download
Hit Add text. The first run loads a one-time ~32MB engine, then download your captioned MP4 — no watermark, no signup.
Add Text to Video — FAQ
Is this text overlay tool really free?
Yes — caption as many videos as you like, free, with no signup and no watermark. An optional Paji Pro membership (NZ$9/mo) adds batch captioning and saved style presets, but the free tool is fully usable on its own.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. Your video is read and the caption is drawn over it entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device — there is no server and nothing is stored online.
How does the text get onto the video?
Your caption is rendered to a crisp transparent image on a canvas — matched to your video’s width — and then overlaid onto the footage. That keeps the text sharp and lets you pick any colour and an optional background band.
Can I choose the colour, size and position?
Yes. Pick the text colour, the font size, and whether to sit it on a contrasting background band, then place it at the top, middle or bottom of the frame.
Can I use it to caption a property video?
Absolutely — add a price, an open-home time, a suburb or a hook to an Auckland listing walkthrough, an open-home clip or a product demo before you post it. No app to install.
Does it work on my phone, and why is a big video slow?
It runs in any modern mobile or desktop browser. Because everything happens on your device with a single-thread engine, large or long videos can take a while — especially on a phone. For the quickest result, caption a shorter clip.
