Summarize a subtitle file or transcript
The Subtitle Summarizer reads a subtitle file or a pasted transcript and writes a structured AI summary. Upload an SRT, VTT or TXT file, or paste the text, then pick one of 8 summary styles and the output language. You don't need the video itself. Each summary costs 25 credits and needs Pro.
How to summarize a subtitle
- 1
Add the text
Drop an .srt, .vtt or .txt file up to 20 MB, or paste subtitle or transcript text straight into the box.
- 2
Choose a style and language
Pick a summary style, such as key points, action items or a timeline, and one of 36 output languages.
- 3
Copy or download the summary
The summary appears with headings and bullet points. Copy it, or download it as a TXT file.
Summaries that fit the content
8 summary styles
General overview, key points only, action items, technical details, educational content, movie, novel and timeline, each with its own structure.
Timestamps kept
Subtitle timings are turned into [mm:ss] markers before summarizing, so a timeline or a quote can point back to the moment it happened.
Spoiler-free option
For movie and novel summaries you can hide the ending and major twists, which helps when you are deciding whether to watch or read.
Long transcripts covered evenly
Very long inputs are sampled across the whole text rather than cut off at the start, so the end of a lecture still shapes the summary.

Subtitle summary FAQ
Where do I get a subtitle file to summarize?
Download one from a video link with the Subtitle Downloader, or use any SRT, VTT or TXT file you already have. If the video is on your device, Video to Summary transcribes and summarizes it in one step.
Can I paste raw SRT text?
Yes. Pasted SRT or VTT text is detected and converted to timestamped lines, the same way an uploaded file is.
How much does a summary cost?
25 credits per summary, whatever the length of the text. Pro costs $5 a month and includes 5,000 credits.
Can the summary be in a different language from the subtitle?
Yes. Pick any of the 36 output languages, for example an English summary of a Japanese subtitle.
What does the spoiler-free option do?
It appears for the movie and novel styles and keeps endings and major twists out of the summary. It is on by default.
