How to Translate a Video from Upload to Download
This guide explains how to translate a video you own into another language, review the meaning, and save the result.
Translate a video
Free 30s watermarked preview · No sign-up. Full video downloads: MP4 + SRT.
The tool on this page starts with Spanish and standard AI dubbing, and the whole task stays on this page. You can try the first 30 seconds before signing in. A video translator handles speech recognition, sentence translation, voice generation, and export; your job is to check the words and the finished viewing experience. Start with a clip whose language and subject you understand well enough to review.
01
1. Prepare and Upload Your Source File
Upload a video file that you own or have permission to translate. MP4, MOV, WebM, and MKV are accepted, subject to the upload limit shown in the tool. Free and preview uploads are limited to 200 MB; accounts with a paid purchase can upload files up to 2 GB. Use the original export when you have it, because repeatedly compressed dialogue can make speech recognition harder.
Before uploading, listen to the opening minute. Make sure the recording has an audio track and that the speech is clear enough to understand. Write down names, acronyms, product codes, and numbers you will need to verify later. If the clip has several people talking at once, identify a few exchanges to check carefully in the result.
Keep the original file in your own storage. The uploaded task is a processing workspace with a 30-day retention period, so it should not be your only copy of the recording.

2. Choose the Language and Output Type
Choose the target language and select dubbing or subtitles before starting processing. This example defaults to Spanish, but you can pick another supported target from the tool. Select the actual source language when you know it, or use automatic detection when you need the service to identify it. Detection should still be checked against what is spoken.
Standard dubbing generates speech from a set of available AI voices. Premium dubbing uses a different voice tier, and subtitle mode keeps the source audio while producing translated caption files. Select the output your audience needs: a narrated demonstration may benefit from translated speech, while an interview may need its original voices with readable text.
All output tiers share the same 78 target languages. Standard offers Warm woman and Calm man for each language; premium choices vary. Some languages are in beta while voice quality is being tuned. Use a free preview if eligible; paid accounts start the full video directly.

3. Start Processing and Inspect Early Subtitles
If you are eligible for a free preview, inspect the first 30 seconds with a watermark. Accounts with a paid order or active subscription process the full recording directly. Check the options and credits first. After processing starts, translated sentences appear while dubbing continues, so you can read the text before the MP4 is ready.
The subtitle stage helps you catch a wrong source-language choice or a misheard word early. Look for missed negatives, names, dates, and quantities. A line such as “do not disconnect the cable” needs a meaning check that goes beyond whether the target text reads smoothly.
If processing reports a failure, read its status instead of assuming the browser has stopped responding. Provider queues and clip characteristics affect completion time. Refreshing a task URL restores the same owned job; it does not authorize someone else to see it or require you to upload the source again.

4. Review Sentences, Speakers, and the Soundtrack
Read the translated sentences and listen to its generated voices. Note any corrections you want to make; sentence editing and regeneration become available after full processing completes. Compare meaning against the source rather than translating the result back word for word and assuming that proves accuracy.
Check speaker labels in a conversation. Automatic recognition can merge people, especially when voices overlap or someone speaks only briefly. Check the assigned AI voices and listen around turn changes; you can select another voice after full processing finishes. Original voice instead recreates each uploaded speaker's voice with per-task consent. Similarity and accent may vary, and sentence edits keep the same voice.
Inspect timing as well as words. A longer translated sentence may need shortening or faster delivery, and some lines can still exceed their interval. Background music is retained when separation succeeds. If the tool says the background could not be preserved, the result uses AI speech without it; decide whether that limitation is acceptable for your clip. Mouth movements stay original unless you start separate paid lip sync after full dubbing.

5. Continue the Same Task with Credits
If you started with a preview, sign in to continue the same task in full; paid accounts already process the full video directly. After the full result is ready, use its sentence editor to apply the corrections you noted and regenerate changed lines. Verify your email for three signup credits once, subject to daily network limits. Each free full video must be no longer than one minute and retains a watermark. If you need more credits, the purchase window opens inside the tool and shows the required amount, your balance, and the shortage.
Standard dubbing costs one credit per started minute, and premium costs two. Subtitle mode charges 0.25 credits per started minute, with the final total rounded up to a whole credit. A 90-second standard translation therefore requires two credits; the same duration in subtitle mode requires one. Check that displayed calculation before submitting a longer file.
Choose a monthly or annual subscription for monthly credits or a one-time pack for occasional work. Pack credits never expire; subscription credits reset monthly. Payment returns to the same page and job. Failed processing refunds credits automatically. Unused pack credits are refundable within 14 days; first subscription payments within 7 days if their credits are unused.

6. Compare the Completed Video with the Source
Compare the completed MP4 with the original clip before sharing it. Watch the beginning and ending, then inspect any section containing fast speech, an important number, or a change of speaker. Listen through ordinary speakers and headphones if both are common for your audience. A quiet soundtrack can mask words differently from a silent review environment.
The video translator changes spoken content without rewriting text inside the picture. Check captions embedded in your source, slide titles, screen labels, and other graphics that may still need a separate edit. Review whether the translated line points to the right visible action when it mentions a control or an object.
Subtitle mode needs a different comparison: the MP4 keeps the original audio, and the translated text is a separate track. Open that caption file in your intended player to review reading time, line wrapping, and display size. Generated files still need this final editorial check.

7. Download and Keep the Deliverables
Download the MP4 and the subtitle files you need before the 30-day retention period ends. SRT is useful for many editing and hosting workflows, while VTT suits web players that accept that format. Choose the format supported by your destination rather than renaming one file extension to another. Optional burned-in captions are free on every video, including previews; burn-in is off by default.
Store the translated video, its matching caption track, and your original source together. If someone later shortens the video, revisit the subtitles because the old timestamps may no longer match. A clear version name helps your team distinguish an approved translation from an earlier preview without depending on a task URL.
You can return to the home video translator to begin a different recording, or use a language-specific page for a preset target. Keep a brief review note for recurring terms so the next clip follows the same editorial choices.
Translate Spanish video to English and keep the original audio
Upload the clip, choose English and subtitle mode, then review and export the English SRT after full processing. The video keeps its Spanish audio.
The clip uses synthetic Spanish speech. The English SRT is a hand-written reference so you can compare the wording and timing with your own export.
Video translation questions
Choose subtitle mode to retain the original spoken audio. It produces translated SRT and VTT tracks; attach one in a compatible editor or player for viewers to read.
No, the free guest preview covers up to the first 30 seconds. Sign in when you want to continue the same task as a full translation.
Check the detected speaker labels and each assigned voice. Brief contributions and overlapping speech can confuse recognition, so listen to those turns rather than trusting the labels alone.
No, a preview does not establish the accuracy of an entire recording. Review the full translated text and finished video, especially instructions, names, amounts, and other details that affect meaning.
Yes, save the result while it is available. Task files are scheduled for deletion after 30 days, and your local copy preserves the version you reviewed.
