What to check before exporting
The source must contain a supported text subtitle stream. Bitmap subtitles and words already drawn in the picture cannot be extracted as text by this tool. It does not transcribe the soundtrack.
Choose a compatible output profile and review the source streams, selected range and final settings. Processing uses structured controls, and incompatible combinations are rejected before queueing. Download the requested result when final validation completes.
A real workspace. A result you can inspect.
This actual product screenshot shows source playback, range selection, an uploaded-audio area and encoding settings. It illustrates the shared converter; your operation opens its own relevant controls after inspection.
A processed preview creates a separate short task. It covers the first ten seconds of your range at up to 360p in a compatible format. Image and subtitle exports still need inspection of the requested final download.

Questions about this workflow
What if the video has no subtitle stream?
Inspection shows the available streams. Supply a caption file for conversion, or use audio transcription as a separate task when you need speech turned into text.
Can I close the tab while processing?
Yes. Submitted conversion tasks run in the background. Return to your account to check progress and download results before the retention period ends.
What are the upload and storage limits?
Current source limits are 2 GiB and two hours per file. Files have a 72-hour retention period; task, collection and resource limits also apply. The workspace shows the applicable limits. Free and Pro currently share feature access.
