We are a technology company dedicated to making advanced AI tools available to everyone at the lowest possible cost.
Our first product is transcription and translation — offered at an industry-leading price and with unparalleled convenience. With FreeSubtitles.AI you get studio-quality transcriptions without needing to pay upfront, create an account, or even log in. Upload a file and get results — it’s that simple.
We believe language and accessibility should never be barriers. Millions of hours of audio and video are locked away every day, unsearchable and unusable. FreeSubtitles.AI exists to unlock that content — making it easy for anyone, anywhere, to turn speech into text and bridge language differences instantly.
We aren’t just offering a transcription tool. We’re building the foundation of an AI tool suite designed to democratize access to cutting-edge technology. Our philosophy is simple: AI should reduce costs, not inflate them. That’s why FreeSubtitles.AI is free to start, and why paid credits are priced at just $0.99/hour — one of the lowest rates available anywhere in the world.
Free users enjoy immediate transcription and auto-deletion for privacy. Paid users unlock advanced playback features and priority queue access. Media files are retained for up to one month; transcription files (SRT/VTT/TXT/JSON) are retained indefinitely unless you delete them.
We take privacy seriously. Free uploads are automatically deleted after 30 minutes; free transcripts after 24 hours. For paid usage, media files are retained for up to one month and transcription files (SRT/VTT/TXT/JSON) are retained indefinitely unless you delete them. You can also delete items immediately after processing. All uploads are encrypted end-to-end, and we never use your data for training.
Transcription is just the beginning. We’re building a platform of practical AI tools — simple, affordable, and available to everyone, everywhere. FreeSubtitles.AI is proof that you don’t need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to access technology that works at scale.
Whether you’re a student, creator, journalist, business, or casual user, our goal is the same: to give you world-class AI tools at a price that feels almost impossible.
⚡ Free to use. $0.99/hour if you need more. No accounts, no hidden fees, no barriers. Just results.
When Whisper ASR was released as open‑source, we created a simple web interface to avoid using the command line. Interest grew quickly, so we put it online, improved the experience, and continued shipping features—evolving into what FreeSubtitles.ai is today.
The project is independently built and funded, and server costs are covered without outside backing. If you find it useful, purchasing credit helps keep the service sustainable and available to everyone.
Limits ensure fair access for many users while keeping the service fast, affordable, and reliable. The balance lets us offer robust free usage without compromising quality.
Upload your media and we transcribe it using Whisper large‑v2 for high accuracy. We can also translate with open‑source translation models. You can download results as .srt, .vtt, or .txt. Free uploads are auto‑deleted on a schedule. For paid usage, media is retained for up to one month and transcription files are retained indefinitely unless deleted.
Free media are deleted automatically after 30 minutes and transcriptions after 24 hours. You can also delete everything immediately when processing completes. Uploads are encrypted via SSL, and data is only accessed for support when you explicitly ask for help. Paid users can store files for convenience and use the built‑in player. Each transcription has a unique URL, and Cloudflare helps protect against enumeration.
Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, domain terminology, and language. We continuously tune the pipeline for better general accuracy. If something looks off, please reach out—feedback directly improves results.
