Create clearer, more engaging, and visually polished videos while editing entirely online, whether you’re working on a desktop, tablet, or mobile.

Customize video text with full control

You have full control when adding text to video, with the freedom to select fonts, refine colors, adjust sizing, and apply animations that suit your style. Choose from clean basics or expressive, AI-generated fonts for video, then fine-tune the details so your text reflects your brand, mood, or creative direction without making editing feel complicated.

Create engaging social videos by adding text

When you add video text, your content is easier to follow across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more. Captions, titles, and annotations help videos stand out in fast-moving feeds, improve accessibility for all viewers, and encourage higher engagement by making key moments clear at a glance.

Add text to promotional videos and ads

Add text to promotional videos and video ads to highlight products, share offers, or guide viewers to take action. With simple tools to edit video text, creators, small businesses, and marketers can add calls-to-action, announcements, and key details quickly without dealing with complex editing workflows. 

Enhance videos with text for storytelling and tutorials

Text helps guide viewers through ideas, steps, and narratives with clarity. When you enhance videos with text, tutorials with text become easier to follow, and storytelling feels more structured. Using a Video Text Editor, you can add helpful context that keeps viewers engaged and makes complex content simpler to understand.

Auto-generate captions while adding text to a video

With Picsart’s add text to video tools, you can choose how text appears based on your content. For speaking videos, captions automatically convert speech into on-screen text, while manual text tools work best for titles and highlights. Auto-generated captions improve accessibility, support tutorials, and keep videos easy to follow even when the sound is off.
