Repurpose your video into text in one step

Creators sit on hours of video that could become blog posts, captions, show notes, or social copy. This tool extracts the audio and runs OpenAI's Whisper model to produce a clean transcript plus timestamped subtitles — so you can caption a Reel, draft an article from a talk, or make your content searchable. Because it runs on your device, even unpublished footage stays private.

Subtitles ready for any editor

Download timestamped captions as .srt or .vtt and drop them straight into YouTube, CapCut, Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve. Or grab the plain .txt to edit and reuse however you like. No accounts, no per-minute charges, no watermarks.

FAQ

How do I transcribe a video to text?+
Upload your video (or audio) file and PixPipe extracts the speech and writes it out as editable text, with timestamped subtitles you can download as .srt or .vtt. It runs in your browser using OpenAI's Whisper model — nothing is uploaded.
Is my video uploaded to a server?+
No. The audio is extracted and transcribed entirely on your device. The AI model (~75MB) downloads to your browser once and is cached; your video never leaves your computer.
What formats can I transcribe?+
Common video (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV) and audio (MP3, WAV, M4A) files. The audio track is extracted automatically before transcription.
Can I get subtitles (.srt) for my video?+
Yes. Along with the plain transcript, you can download timestamped subtitles in .srt or .vtt format, ready to drop into YouTube, CapCut, Premiere, or any editor.
What languages does it support?+
Whisper supports 90+ languages and auto-detects the spoken language by default — or you can pick one for better accuracy. You can also toggle 'Translate to English' to turn foreign-language speech into an English transcript and subtitles.
Is it really free?+
Yes — no signup, no upload limits, no watermark. Built for creators repurposing their own video.
