How to Put Captions on Facebook Reels

Answer: To put captions on a Facebook Reel, upload it to SendShort. The AI automatically adds captions, then you can download the video for free.

  1. Create a free SendShort account
  2. Upload a Facebook Reel
  3. Change the style of the captions
  4. Export video
  5. Upload to Facebook Reels
Highlighting the menu where you edit subtitles in SendShort
Caption styles in SendShort

That’s right about it.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a native ‘captions’ feature within Facebook β€” but that’s why external looks like SendShort exist.

FAQ: Can you put captions on Facebook Reels?

Answer: Yes, but only by typing text during editing and enabling Text-to-Speech. Alternatively, use SendShort to automatically add & detect captions for free.
