Add German Subtitles to Video
ViralMint is a free German subtitle generator — Whisper transcribes your video locally and adds accurate Deutsch captions you can burn in or export.
Free German subtitle generator, powered by local Whisper
ViralMint adds German (Deutsch) subtitles to any video using local Whisper transcription, including German's long compound nouns and umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) handled correctly. Drop in a video and get word-level German timestamps in seconds, then burn word-by-word animated captions or export .srt/.ass. To German-localise an English video, translate-and-dub transcribes the original locally, translates to German, and re-times the captions — useful for the large, high-CPM DACH (Germany/Austria/Switzerland) creator market. Everything stays on your machine: no upload, no minute cap, no watermark.
How to add German subtitles to a video
-
Open the caption tool
Launch ViralMint and open Tools → Captions. It accepts mp4, mov, mkv and webm.
-
Drop in your video
Local Whisper transcribes it into German (Deutsch) with word-level timestamps — on your machine, nothing uploads. If the audio is another language, translate-and-dub can convert it to German first.
-
Style or export
Burn word-by-word animated German captions (viral / classic / bold), or export a standalone .srt / .ass file for any editor.
-
Render the mp4
ViralMint burns the German subtitles in with FFmpeg and writes the final mp4 — original untouched, zero watermark.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it handle umlauts and ß correctly?
Yes. Whisper outputs proper German orthography including ä/ö/ü and ß, and keeps compound nouns intact, so the captions are clean without manual correction.
Can I translate an English video into German subtitles?
Yes — translate-and-dub transcribes the English audio locally, translates it to German, and re-times the subtitles for an accurate German cut.
Is it really free with no watermark?
Yes. The captioning runs in the free ViralMint desktop app with no watermark and no monthly minute cap.
