# Export Subtitles

> Export your subtitles from Descript as an SRT or VTT file.

Subtitles export as a separate file you upload alongside your video.

Looking for [Captions](/visuals/text-layers) Instead? Subtitles and captions work differently in Descript. If you’re looking for captions that always stay on the video (even when shared or uploaded), check out: [Creating captions for your videos](https://help.descript.com/hc/en-us/articles/12878201987597).
