FAQ
Does it work when the Reel has no captions?
Yes. We transcribe the audio itself, burned-in or automatic captions are not needed.
Can I translate a Reel?
Yes. Tick Translate to English and you get the English version of what is said, in any of 90+ source languages.
Is there a limit per day?
No daily limit for normal use. Each transcript can be up to 20 minutes long.
Is this really free?
Yes. Every tool on Shortform Kit is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily limit for normal use. We run it on our own server and keep costs low on purpose.
Do you store my files or links?
No. The file is created for you, kept for 15 minutes so you can save it, then deleted automatically. We don't log which links you paste.
Which content is allowed?
Only public posts. Private accounts, stories that need a login and age-restricted videos don't work, and we never ask for your password. Download only content you have the right to use.
