About vidwise

Vidwise is a hosted tool for captioning short-form video. You upload a video, the AI transcribes the speech and generates timed captions in a style you choose, and you download a ready-to-post file. The page says it accepts the common video formats, with a ten-minute limit per video.

The site also describes AI that creates short viral clips from long-form videos, and it offers free utilities such as a video compressor and a video to MP3 converter. The flow is three steps: upload, let the AI caption, then download and post. It suits creators who publish to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts and want captions without manual subtitle work. New accounts get three free videos and no credit card is required.
