Create automatic captions for your Instagram Reels
Add captions to your Reels in one click
Generate captions for your Instagram Reels to keep people from swiping past your content! Most people watch Reels on their phone. These viewers are often on the go and in situations where they can’t turn the volume up to listen to your video. Adding captions to your Reels helps them enjoy your content and keeps them engaged and watching.
Worried about the process of adding captions? No need to be! Flixier can auto-generate captions for your Instagram Reels in just a few clicks, translate them to different languages automatically and even allows you to customise the way your captions look to make sure they’re legible and fit in with the rest of your video.

Flixier is an online video editor, so you don’t need to download or install anything to your computer in order to use it. Just click on Get Started, upload your Reel, click on Generate Subtitles, then sit back and relax while our AI-powered tool analizes your audio and generates accurate, synchronized captions in just a few seconds.
Customize your captions easily
Choose from a dozen different subtitle presets to make your captions stand out. You can also style your captions manually to make them fit your brand and aesthetic.

I like Flixier because I can use it anywhere I go and I don`t need a lot of computer requirements but great internet connection. I like how fast it is when it comes to rendering videos and still have the opportunity to continue or start another project while waiting. I appreciate the continuous updates and adjustments because it is necessary for a video editing tool.
My main criteria for an editor was that the interface is familiar and most importantly that the renders were in the cloud and super fast. Flixier more than delivered in both. I've now been using it daily to edit Facebook videos for my 1M follower page.

What I like most about Flixier is the flexibility to edit the captions, both in terms of the text and the time where it starts and finish showing it. It gives you full control.
This online free program was extremely easy to use, implement, and integrate into my 9-12th grade tech classes. The projects turned out great and were easy to export. I liked having multiple ways to upload pictures. The software was also easy to understand.

How long can Instagram captions be?
If you use Instagram to caption your Reels, you are limited to using 2200 characters and no more than 30 hashtags. There is no character limit to your captions when you use an external caption generator like Flixier.
Why are the captions not showing up on my Reel?
