A free tool still has to pay for itself. Here’s the honest version, because how a site is funded tells you a lot about whether you can trust it with your files.
What we will never do
We don’t upload, store, sell, or even see your subtitle files. The entire processing model is client-side specifically so that your data can never become the product. That’s a deliberate constraint, not a marketing line — it’s why there are no servers handling your files to monetise in the first place. See the privacy policy.
Display advertising
The site reserves space for a small number of ads. They are placed below or beside tools and content — never above a tool, never disguised as a button, and never between you and the result. The slots are sized in advance so adding ads won’t make the page jump around.
Affiliate links
Some pages may recommend a paid service that genuinely fits — for example, professional transcription when you need captions created from a video that has none. If you sign up through such a link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We’ll only recommend things we’d suggest anyway, and affiliate links will be marked.
A future Pro tier
The free tools will stay free. Later, an optional paid tier may add conveniences for heavy users — batch processing of many files at once, very large files, and an ad-free interface. The core converters and fixers won’t be moved behind a paywall.
Why tell you any of this?
Trust is the whole product. If you can read exactly how the site earns and confirm your files never leave your device, you can use it without second-guessing. Questions are welcome at hello@fixsubtitles.com.
