Translate Video translates the spoken audio in a video and produces a new video file where the dubbed voice matches the on-screen speaker. Processing runs on the server and typically takes 5 to 15 minutes.

When to use

  • Translate a TikTok, Instagram Reel or YouTube video into your language

  • Localize an educational or training video for a different audience

  • Watch a foreign-language documentary or interview without subtitles

  • Share a video with someone who speaks a different language

What you can upload

Formats: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, M4V

Max file size: 100 MB

Sources:

  • File from your device or gallery

  • Link to YouTube, Instagram or TikTok

  • Direct video URL (.mp4, .mov and others)

How to run

  1. Open the Translate Video tool from the Tools tab.

  2. Tap Choose to pick a file, or tap Paste link to import from a URL.

  3. Select the target language.

  4. Tap Translate. The app compresses and uploads the video, then sends it for server processing.

  5. You can close the app. When the video is ready, it appears in History and you receive an email notification.

ℹ️ Average processing time is 5 to 15 minutes depending on video length. Do not close the app until the upload finishes, then you can safely minimize it.

Settings

Tap the settings icon before translating to adjust the output:

  • Audio only: translates the audio track only, without lip sync. Use this when lip sync is not important or the face is not clearly visible.

  • Enhanced Cloning: doubles the cost but produces a more natural-sounding result with better voice similarity.
