Free Video Translator: What You Get Without Paying

What the 100 free credits cover

Translation is billed per minute of your file, and the free credits work exactly like paid ones:

Subtitles and transcripts

1 credit per minute: 100 credits translate up to 100 minutes of video into subtitles (SRT, VTT) and a translated transcript

Translated voice (dub)

50 credits per minute with a 2-minute minimum: 100 credits dub one video up to 2 minutes long

Mixing

Credits are shared: a 40-minute lecture translated to subtitles leaves 60 credits for more subtitles, but not enough for a dub

You see the exact cost under the Translate button before anything starts, and if a job fails or you cancel it, the credits come back automatically. Free credits are promotional: they can be limited to certain sign-in methods and have no cash value.

Why it asks you to sign in

Credits belong to an account, so translating your own file needs a sign-in; the Google sign-in takes a few seconds and is the route that adds the 100 credits. You can load the sample clip and look around without an account. The trade-off is plain: a sign-in in exchange for a meaningful free allowance with no watermark. Tools that need no sign-in at all exist (see below) and are the right choice if you'd rather not create an account.

No watermark, and why

mydubly never adds a logo or watermark, on free or paid credits. The translated MP4 is assembled in your browser: the original video stream is copied untouched and only the audio is replaced, so the picture you get back is exactly the picture you put in. Subtitles are plain SRT and VTT files.

Good uses for the free credits

1. Test a dub on a short clip first. Two minutes in Hindi, Spanish or any of 19 voice languages is enough to judge how your copied voice sounds before translating anything long.
2. Subtitle a full lecture or interview. A 90-minute recording fits within the allowance as translated subtitles.
3. Make a Reel or Short readable in another language with translated subtitles, then burn them in with your editor.
4. Get the gist of a video in a language you don't speak by reading its translated transcript.

How other free tiers differ

Free allowances elsewhere are built differently, and each suits a different person. These are from each vendor's own pages, checked 4–5 October 2026; they change often, so confirm before relying on them.

• ElevenLabs: automatic dubs made on the Free plan carry a watermark, according to its dubbing documentation; the editable Dubbing Studio starts on the paid Starter plan.
• HeyGen: the Free plan includes 3 videos a month up to 1 minute each, with many languages and features beyond translation, including avatars.
• Kapwing: a free plan with a full online video editor; exports carry a watermark and are limited to 4 minutes.
• Rask AI: a free trial with 3 minutes included and no card.
• Dubverse: a 2-day free trial without a card, with an editing studio and INR pricing.
• SlideSpeak and similar sites: short free dubs without a sign-in.

Several of these offer things mydubly doesn't: lip-sync, avatars, in-app script editing, URL import or more languages. mydubly's free allowance is aimed at people who want full-length subtitles or a short dub in their own voice without a watermark.

Free options for text only

If you only need subtitles, two free routes are worth knowing. YouTube generates automatic captions for many languages on videos you upload, at no cost, and can auto-translate them for viewers. And Whisper, the open-source speech recognition model, runs free on your own computer if you're comfortable installing it; what Whisper is explains it. mydubly is the quicker route when you want downloadable, translated SRT files without setting anything up.

After the free credits

There is no subscription. Translated subtitles cost 1 credit per minute and a translated voice costs 50 credits per minute, and $1 buys 1,000 credits. Paid top-ups open soon, charged in Indian rupees through Cashfree Payments (UPI, cards or netbanking), from ₹85 for 1,000 credits; until then, the 100 free credits are what you can use. Credits don't expire. The pricing page has worked examples.

Limits to know

• No lip-sync: lips on screen don't match the new language.
• Files only, up to 2 hours: no YouTube or Instagram links.
• Translated voice in 19 languages; Czech and Vietnamese are subtitles only. Hindi is the only Indian language.

Using the tool on this page

• The spoken language is detected automatically; you select the output language — the spoken language itself for an untranslated transcript, or another language for a translation. Files can be up to 2 hours long.
• Only the audio is sent for processing — the video stays on your device — and audio and text are deleted within 30 minutes of delivery (how files are protected).
• You can download a translated video that keeps your music and effects, the translated audio as M4A, a transcript and subtitles (SRT and VTT). Every output, step and limit is explained on the video translator page.
