Add Arabic subtitles to your video

BeamTake transcribes Arabic speech with word-level timing and burns the subtitles into your video. Written right to left, with letters joining into connected forms. That's why line breaks and font size matter more in Arabic subtitles than in most languages.

How it works

Add Arabic subtitles to your video: step by step

Try it free
01

Add your video

Paste a link or upload a file.

02

Choose Arabic

Auto-detect is available, but picking the language yourself gives better results on short clips.

03

Pick a style

Choose one of nine styles; hover over a preview to see how the export will look.

04

Burn in the subtitles

Captions are rendered into the video, and an .srt and plain-text file are created at the same time.

The most common problem with Arabic subtitles

Printed without letter shaping, words look broken apart; right alignment and connected forms are both required.

A practical readability rule: 26–30 characters per line, right-aligned. Caption size scales with the export ratio, so a 1080×1920 clip and a 1920×1080 video carry the same visual weight.

What you get

  • Arabic subtitles burned into the video
  • Word-timed .srt and .vtt
  • Plain-text transcript
  • Nine caption styles

Where are Arabic-speaking viewers?

Arabic is spoken from Morocco to the Gulf, and mobile video use in the region is above the global average. The right-to-left direction makes captioning a technically separate job.

Where Arabic subtitles pay off

Three common uses: social feeds that play muted, viewers who don't speak Arabic, and accessibility. Most social feeds start video with the sound off; without captions, content counts as unwatched.

There's a search side too: when you upload the subtitle file to a video platform, the spoken words become searchable. That's why you get an .srt alongside the burned-in version; they do different jobs.

How to choose a caption style

Punch and Ribbon put a backing behind the text, so they stay readable over busy footage. Clean and Mini take up less space and suit simple shots. Neon and Contrast read best on small screens but dominate the picture. Watching the clip at phone size is all it takes to decide.

FAQ

What if there's speech in another language besides Arabic?

When you pick the language, the engine transcribes for it. If the recording truly mixes two languages, choose the dominant one for the cleanest result.

Can I get the subtitle file separately?

Yes. Alongside the burned-in video you get .srt, .vtt and plain-text files.

Does the font support this language?

Yes. Captions are rendered as part of the image with a font that covers the language's script, so there are no empty boxes.

Can I correct the transcript?

Yes. Download the .srt file and fix it in any subtitle editor; the corrected file works anywhere that accepts subtitle uploads.

Anything to watch out for in Arabic subtitles?

Modern Standard Arabic is shared in writing but spoken dialects vary by country; the transcript follows the spoken dialect while translation leans toward the standard language.
