Everything subtitles should do

It works on the video sites you already use: streaming services, course platforms, video sites. Free, with no account.

Live captions where there are none

Click CC and the film's speech becomes captions, word by word. They are made on your computer by an open-source speech engine: nothing you watch or hear is uploaded.

Find subtitles in seconds

Search OpenSubtitles.com right from the panel. When the page plays a real video file, subtitles made for that exact file come first.

Perfect timing, two ways

Press Now! when you hear a line to lock the timing, or let Auto-sync listen to the dialogue and fix the delay and speed. Then they follow play, pause and seek.

Make them yours

Choose the font, colour, size and background, and hide the site's own subtitles if you like.

Anywhere, at any size

Drag them where you like and size them as you like. Your choice is remembered on every site, even in fullscreen.

Two languages, any file

SRT, VTT, ASS/SSA, MicroDVD, MPL2 and TMPlayer, in any encoding. A second language lines up with the first by itself, even when the frame rates differ.

Finding subtitles online

Subtitles Unbound searches OpenSubtitles.com, the largest free subtitle library. It needs your own free API key, which you set up once.

  1. Get a free key

    Sign in at opensubtitles.com, open API consumers and create a new consumer. Copy its API key.

  2. Paste it once

    In the Files tab, click the key button and paste it. It's remembered in your browser for good and sent only to OpenSubtitles.

  3. Search

    Type a title (or let it guess from the page) and press Find. Load a result, or add it as the second language.
