Quick guide

Set TikTok captions where viewers can see them

TikTok adds buttons and text around your video. Place your captions above those controls so the words stay clear.

You can choose bold text, a word highlight, a text border, or a rounded color box behind the captions.

  • Move captions anywhere from top to bottom.
  • Use bold text sized for a phone screen.
  • See the burned-in result before checkout.

Common questions

How do I avoid TikTok buttons?

Move the captions up enough to clear TikTok's bottom text and right-side buttons.

Can all caption words use one color?

Yes. Turn Text Highlight Color off to use one text color for every word.

Can I upload the result straight to TikTok?

Yes. The final file has captions burned in, so you can upload it to TikTok as one video.
