caption generator for reels
timed to the moment
Captions that survive the scroll.
Reels are watched on mute, on the move, and inside a busy feed. Headroom keeps captions readable on a phone screen and helps the words land at the right moment.
- Word-timed captions for vertical video
- Caption styles tuned for Reels
- Safe placement away from Reels UI
- 1080p MP4 ready for upload
Problem
Reels are scrolled fast and watched silent.
Plain captions can carry the words, but Reels viewers usually decide in the first second. Caption style, pace, and placement quietly do half the retention work.
Muted viewing is the default
Many Reels viewers never turn the sound on, so captions carry the message.
Reels UI takes screen space
Likes, comments, share, sound, and captions all crowd the bottom of the frame.
Hooks happen fast
The first couple of seconds need a caption that does work, not generic text.
