Watch any YouTube video with translated subtitles overlaid on the player, or download a finished SRT/VTT/ASS file for your own edit. Works on Shorts, livestream VODs, and Music. 50 free credits at signup — no card required.
Pick the workflow that matches how you watch. Both use the same translation engine and the same 30+ target languages.
Install the VinnerVi browser extension, open any YouTube video, click the extension icon, and pick your target language. Translated subtitles appear in real time on the YouTube player, synced to playback. If the video already has captions, VinnerVi translates them at 1 credit per minute. If it doesn't, the extension transcribes the audio first at 3 credits per minute. Subtitles are cached locally and reload automatically the next time you open the same video.
Open vinnervi.com/subtitles, paste the YouTube link, pick a target language and a subtitle format (SRT, VTT, ASS, or TXT), and hit Generate. About 1–10 minutes later you get a finished subtitle file — pick it up from your Jobs tab or from the email we send. Drop the file into Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci, VLC, mpv, or upload it to YouTube Studio.
YouTube hosts an enormous range of foreign-language content — Korean K-pop reactions and variety shows, Japanese anime AMVs and game streams, Chinese tech reviews, Spanish news, Arabic lectures, Hindi entertainment, Russian commentary, and millions of niche channels in every language. Most of it never gets official translations. YouTube's own auto-translate captions are inconsistent: many videos lack captions entirely, auto-generated captions miss colloquial speech and proper nouns, and the on-platform translation toggle is buried in a settings submenu most viewers never find.
VinnerVi works around all of that. Two workflows cover every use case: the browser extension overlays translated subtitles directly on the YouTube player so you keep watching in YouTube's UI, and the URL workflow gives you a downloadable subtitle file so you can edit, upload, or archive. Both use the same AI translation engine tuned for natural conversational speech. You pay only for the minutes of video you actually translate, with failed jobs automatically refunded.
If a YouTube video already has subtitles in any language, VinnerVi translates those tracks at the discounted rate of 1 credit per minute. If it doesn't, the audio-transcription pipeline produces fresh captions at 3 credits per minute — useful for older uploads, Music videos, vlogs without manual captions, and creator content where the auto-generated captions are unusably wrong. Either way the result is a clean translated subtitle track in your target language, ready to watch live or download as SRT, VTT, ASS, or TXT.
