A Professional Editor, Built for the Cloud.

Type exact start and end times to the millisecond, or drag a subtitle's edges to retime it. The audio wave shows where speech starts and stops, and the issues list flags any subtitle that is too long or too fast to read.

  • Exact start and end times, to the millisecond
  • Drag a subtitle's edges for quick timing tweaks
  • Audio wave that shows where speech starts and stops
  • Click to jump to any moment

  • Global timing offset on export

  • Real-time caption overlay in your caption style
  • Scrub and seek with captions in sync
  • A dedicated player for audio files
  • Light, dark, or match-system theme
  • No separate video player needed

Reading Rules, Built In

Set the maximum lines per subtitle and characters per line in the editor's Rules panel, and the issues list takes you straight to anything that breaks them. During translation, AI Wordsmith works automatically, rephrasing or condensing lines so they fit the reading-speed and line limits.

  • Max lines and characters per line in the Rules panel
  • Custom subtitle limits per language, on every plan
  • Issues list for subtitles that are too long or too fast (F8)
  • AI Wordsmith fits translations to the limits automatically

  • Comments on any subtitle, on every plan
  • Share links set to "Can view" or "Can comment", with 72-hour expiry
  • Per-language review and approval on the Team plan

Everything a Desktop Editor Does, and More.

Synced Video Preview

Watch your video with captions overlaid in real time. Scrub through the timeline and see exactly how your subtitles will appear to viewers. No separate player needed.

AI Wordsmith

When a translated line runs too long for its timing or line limits, AI Wordsmith rephrases or condenses it automatically during translation, keeping the original meaning and tone.

Caption Styles & Burn-in

Pick from 30+ caption styles, including dynamic word-by-word captions, or fine-tune font, color, outline, and background. Preview live, then export burned-in MP4s up to 4K.

Multi-Format Export

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fluen a full subtitle editor, or just an AI generator?

Fluen is both. Upload a video or audio file and Fluen generates accurate, well-timed captions with AI. From there, you refine them in a fully featured editor with millisecond timing controls, cue splitting, inline text editing, find and replace, an issues list, video preview, and 30+ caption styles. On paid plans you can also import your own SRT files if you already have captions. The editor works either way.

Can I import my existing SRT files?

Yes, on paid plans. During caption review, you can import an SRT file to replace the AI-generated captions (a source video is still required). To update many videos at once, bulk SRT import matches your files to videos by name. Your existing cues, timing, and formatting are preserved. From there, you can edit, restyle, and export in any supported format.

How does Fluen compare to Aegisub or Subtitle Edit?

Fluen offers the same core editing capabilities (millisecond timing, cue manipulation, text editing) but runs entirely in your browser. No installation, no local file management. On top of that, Fluen adds AI-powered features like automatic transcription, smart segmentation, translation into 50+ languages with automatic AI Wordsmith, 30+ caption styles, comments, and team review. If you're comfortable with desktop editors, you'll feel right at home, with more tools at your disposal.

Can my team collaborate on subtitle editing?

Yes. Everyone can leave comments on subtitles, and share links can be set to "Can view" or "Can comment" (they expire after 72 hours). On the Team plan, shared workspaces let you assign roles and permissions, and "Send for review" gives an external reviewer a private link, no account needed, where they can comment, suggest wording, and approve each language.

What export formats does the editor support?

You can export 7 subtitle formats: SRT, WebVTT, TTML, SBV, ITT (iTunes Timed Text), EBU STL, and SSA. You can also export a burned-in MP4 (up to 4K, in your caption style) or a TXT, Word, or PDF transcript. Exports are included in paid plans.

Can I adjust subtitle timing precisely?

Absolutely. You can type exact timestamps to the millisecond or drag a subtitle's edges on the timeline, where the audio wave shows where speech starts and stops. Click anywhere to jump to that moment, and use the issues list (F8) to step through subtitles that are too long or too fast to read.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan lets you caption and translate 3 files (up to 90 minutes each) and review the results in the editor, no credit card required. Downloading subtitles, exporting video and importing your own SRT files require a paid plan. See pricing →

Can I also generate subtitles from scratch?

Yes. If you don't have existing subtitle files, you can upload a video or audio file and Fluen will generate subtitles automatically using AI. The generated captions appear in the editor, where you can review, refine, and export them. Learn more about subtitle generation →
