Clideo is a browser-based video toolkit that offers a collection of simple video editing tools — merge, compress, resize, crop, add subtitles, and more. It positions itself as an easy-to-use solution for people who need quick video edits without learning complex software.

Clideo's subtitle tool lets you either auto-generate captions using AI or manually add them to your video. The interface is straightforward: upload a video, generate or type subtitles, choose a basic style, and download. For users who need simple subtitles on occasional videos, Clideo gets the job done.

Clideo's Subtitle Limitations

As a general-purpose video toolkit, Clideo's subtitle capabilities are basic:

Limited language support. Clideo's auto-transcription covers major languages but falls well short of dedicated tools. Many users report accuracy issues with non-English audio.

Minimal styling options. You get basic font, color, and position settings — but no transition effects, no display modes (word-by-word, karaoke), and no advanced text rendering like shadows or outlines.

No bilingual display. Single language only, with no option to show translated subtitles alongside the original.

No vocal isolation. Raw audio is transcribed as-is, so background noise reduces accuracy.

No SRT export on free tier. Free users get watermarked video output only. Subtitle file exports require a Pro subscription at $9/month.

Watermark on free tier. All free exports include a Clideo watermark, pushing users toward the $9/month or $72/year subscription.

Processing speed can be slow. Users report that video processing and subtitle generation can take significantly longer than dedicated subtitle tools.
