Why add text to MP4 in the browser?
MP4 files are often quick exports from phones and screen recorders. A local overlay lets you label them without a full editing app.

Add text to MP4 use cases
When to add text before sharing
Use text for product names, step labels, content warnings, location tags, or short context that should travel with the video.
Browser processing vs upload-based tools
For a single static MP4 overlay, browser processing keeps the workflow short and avoids uploading footage to a third-party editor.

FAQ
Can I add a title to an MP4 without uploading?
Yes. The overlay is rendered locally in your browser and exported as a new downloadable video.
Can I place text at the bottom like a caption?
Yes. Use the Bottom position with the Caption style for a readable text band over the video.
Is my video uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is processed locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing leaves your device.
Which file formats are supported?
MP4, MOV, and WEBM up to 500 MB on desktop and 150 MB on mobile.
Is there a watermark?
No. The exported video is identical to your file with the requested change applied.
