Why not just use TikTok's captions?
TikTok's automatic captions are quick but often miss names, slang and mixed languages, and they are added inside the app. Making your own subtitles lets you correct every word and reuse them on Reels and Shorts.
Getting them onto the video
The simplest way is to burn them into the video before uploading: use Add subtitles to video on this site, or import the SRT in CapCut Desktop or CapCut on the web, then export.

Questions
Can I upload an SRT file to TikTok?
The TikTok app's caption tool makes its own captions rather than importing files, so add your subtitles to the video before you upload it.
What line length works best?
Around 20 to 28 characters, in one or two lines, so text stays readable above TikTok's buttons.
Is there a watermark?
No.
