Add text to a video
Put a title on an intro, a caption under a talking head, a label over a screen recording — with real control: ~12 launch styles with font, size, color, stroke and shadow, fade/slide in-out animation, and on-canvas positioning that's pixel-identical between preview and export. Free at 1080p with no watermark; nothing uploads.

- ~12 title styles: font, size, color, stroke, shadow, background pill

How it works
- 1 Drop your video into the editor.
- 2 Pick a text style from the picker and drop it on a track above the video.

- 4 Trim the text clip to the moment it should show, and export free.
Frequently asked questions
Will the text look exactly like the preview in the export?
Yes — preview and export share the same renderer, so what you position is what you get, to the pixel. Divergence between preview and export is treated as a critical bug, not a known limitation.
Can I add text to just one section of the video?
Yes — a text element is a clip on the timeline: trim it to the exact seconds it should be visible, and animate it in and out with the fade/slide handles.
Can I use my own font?
Yes — load a font file from your device and it's available in the editor for that session. Like everything else, the font never uploads anywhere.
What about automatic speech captions?
Word-by-word auto-captions (generated on-device, styled presets) are a committed roadmap feature built on our subtitle app's engine — you can use CaptionForge for that today. Manual text layers in Clipforge cover titles, labels and short caption work now.
Is there a watermark on the free export?
No — no watermark at any tier, ever, and unlimited 1080p exports. The paid tier sells 4K/60fps, not the basics.
