Why captions matter on TikTok
A large share of short-form video is watched with the sound off, and captions keep those viewers watching to the end. They also make your content usable by deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers and give TikTok's search more text to work with.
How to add the caption file to TikTok
- Export your captions as SRT above.
- Open your video in CapCut or your editor of choice.
- Import the SRT file as a subtitle track and check the timing.
- Style the text, then export and upload the finished video.
