How to Use Custom Fonts in Captions

You can get the lighting right. You can nail the hook. You can even perfect the pacing. But if your captions are in some generic typeface that doesn’t match your brand, the video still doesn’t feel like you.

Typography is one of the fastest signals your audience uses to recognize your content — and most video tools make it nearly impossible to control. Captions gives you full custom font support, so your videos look consistent every time.

Use Your Own Brand Font in Captions

Custom font support is available on iOS and Desktop. Android support is on the way.

On iPhone (iOS)

Captions pulls from the fonts installed on your device. So the first step is getting your font onto your iPhone — Apple makes this straightforward through the Settings app. Once it’s installed at the device level, it shows up inside Captions.

Here’s how:

Open Captions and start a new project.
Add your video.
Tap Style.
Tap Font, then scroll right to Custom Fonts.
Select your installed font.
Save it as a Template so it’s ready for every future project.
