Caption a ReelStart with a free plan. Free MP4 exports carry a watermark.
SRT and VTT downloads require a paid plan.
Illustrative portrait preview. Check placement in your platform's posting preview.
Make a small screen easy to read
A Reel can have speech, a face, movement and interface controls competing for attention. Give captions enough contrast and space without covering the subject. Use short phrases and preview the exported clip on your phone before posting.
How it works
- 1
Start with your portrait clip
Open your Reel video in the editor and choose the spoken language. You can work from the original clip before uploading it to Instagram.
- 2
Style for the phone screen
Review the transcript, choose a caption style, and position the text away from faces and important details. Check the first phrase and fast cuts carefully.

Export, then upload to Instagram
Download the MP4 with captions rendered into the picture. Open Instagram yourself and upload the finished video as a Reel. Lumiox does not publish to your account.
Leave room around the words
Instagram's interface and cropping can vary across views and devices. Keep captions away from the outer edges and check the video in Instagram's posting preview. The sample here illustrates caption placement, not a guaranteed platform safe area.
Keep your voice in Hinglish
For a Hindi-English Reel, review the mixed-language transcript and pick the script your audience reads most comfortably. Keep names and product terms consistent throughout the clip.
Avoid competing caption layers
If your MP4 already has visible captions, check whether any additional caption layer in your posting workflow overlaps it. Preview the final result before sharing.
Find your language and your look
Explore Hindi captions, Hinglish captions, Marathi captions, or browse all supported caption languages. Choose from animated caption templates and check current plans and export options before starting a longer project.
Questions before you start
Does this generate the text below an Instagram post?
No. It creates on-screen captions from the speech in your Reel. Write your post description and hashtags separately in Instagram.
Can I add Hinglish captions to a Reel?
Yes. Choose the Hinglish workflow in the editor and review the Hindi-English transcript before export. You can correct individual words and change the caption style.
Will Lumiox post the Reel for me?
No. Lumiox exports a video file. You upload that file through your own Instagram account and review the posting preview there.
Can I try Reel captions without paying?
Yes. Try the free plan within its transcription allowances. Free MP4 exports carry a Lumiox watermark; paid plans include watermark-free exports. Current details are on the pricing page.
