CapCut alternative
A CapCut alternative when you only need the captions
BriefVox is not a full video editor. It does one part of the job — captions and transcripts — and tries to do it without an install. Check CapCut's site for their latest features.

Made for real work
A clear path from recording to finished work.
Most people reaching for a CapCut alternative are not looking for a different editor. They are looking to skip the editor for one specific task: getting accurate, good-looking captions onto a clip that is already finished. BriefVox is built for that narrow job and nothing else.
Nothing to install
It runs in the browser, so it works the same on a work laptop, a borrowed machine or a locked-down desktop. Upload the finished clip, caption it, download the MP4. No project files, no timeline, no editor to learn.
Captions as the main event
Because captioning is the whole product, the controls are about captions: 26 presets, per-word highlight animation, font, outline, shadow and glow, and free X/Y placement so the text sits clear of the platform UI. Vertical, square and widescreen are detected automatically.
The transcript comes with it
Every render also produces an editable transcript you can export as SRT, VTT, DOCX or TXT — useful when the same clip needs subtitles on a platform that wants a file rather than burned-in text.

Good to know
Answers before you begin.
Can BriefVox cut, trim and edit video?+
No. It does not replace an editor. Cut the clip wherever you already work, then bring the finished file here for captions.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. It runs in the browser and exports a finished MP4 you download.
Is there a watermark?+
Free exports are 720p and carry a small moving BriefVox watermark. Any paid pack or plan removes it.
