Whether you’re making YouTube tutorials or marketing campaigns, adding images over a video is a great way to highlight your key points. Simply upload your footage and choose the image you want to use. Pick from your personal device, or browse our extensive collection of stock photos to find the perfect visuals. 

This feature isn’t limited to static pictures — you can also insert dynamic GIFs with a single click. Search for your video topic, find a relevant GIF, and edit it as needed. These graphics are a simple way to add more visual interest to your footage and connect with viewers.

Use intuitive editing tools

Captions lets you resize, reposition, and rotate images in a single tap. Even if you’re new to editing, you can make advanced changes in minutes. For instance, drag the image across the timeline to make it stay on the screen longer. Or, choose from a set of engaging transitions so your pictures fade in and out seamlessly.

If you want to replace your images, you can easily delete photos and insert new ones. No matter your editing style, our simple tools will help you polish posts in minutes.

Let AI do the work

If you prefer a more hands-off approach, Captions can automate editing tasks so you can focus on other parts of content creation. 

Upload your video, and AI analyzes it and automatically inserts images that fit your footage. Generating custom photos for your final video means you won’t need to worry about taking pictures in the studio. 

Once AI creates the images, it can edit them automatically, too. Choose from a preselected style, then watch as the platform makes adjustments for you. With Captions, you can create consistent videos without lifting a finger.
