# Create In Chinese: Your next 400 million viewers don’t speak English.

> Add Chinese subtitles, a Chinese cover, and bilingual captions to your YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram videos in about 5 minutes. Ready for RedNote / 小红书.

- Product: Create In Chinese, a web app for English-speaking video creators.
- Canonical page: https://www.createinchinese.com
- Try it free: https://www.createinchinese.com/upload (one free preview video watched in the app, no credit card; downloads need Pro).
- Nothing auto-posts: creators review every asset and publish it themselves.

## Why publish on RedNote now

- **400M+** monthly users on RedNote / Xiaohongshu (小红书) — source: [Reuters, June 2026](https://www.thestandard.com.hk/finance/article/334828/Chinese-social-media-firm-Xiaohongshu-taps-Goldman-CICC-to-work-on-Hong-Kong-IPO-sources-say)
- **4** Chinese platforms from one upload
- **~5 min** from upload to a publish-ready package
- **0** words of Chinese you need to know

Post to RedNote first, then reuse the same package on WeChat Channels (微信视频号), Douyin (抖音), and Bilibili (哔哩哔哩). YouTube, TikTok, Reels, and Shorts exports all work as source videos.

## What you get: one upload becomes a complete post

### 1. Subtitled video: The full video, subtitled in Chinese — with English beside every line.

Subtitles are burned into the video itself, not handed back as a file. In the editor, the English source sits next to each Chinese line, so you can check meaning without reading a single character.

### 2. Cover: A Chinese cover, built from your best frame.

Pick the frame, adjust the headline, and match the look RedNote feeds reward. The cover is what earns the tap, so it comes with every video instead of as an afterthought.

### 3. Caption: Chinese and English captions, ready to paste.

The caption is written for the same video, so posting is copy-and-paste instead of writing from scratch in a language you don’t speak.

## Post in a language you don't read, without guessing

- **English beside every line.** Subtitles, cover text, and captions keep the English source next to the Chinese, so you can verify meaning line by line without reading characters.
- **Translated, then checked.** Every line is translated, then checked automatically. Lines that come back untranslated, garbled, or missing a name get a second AI pass before you see them.
- **You publish, not us.** Nothing auto-posts and Create In Chinese never touches your accounts. Review every asset, edit any line, and export only when it looks right.

## How it works

1. **Upload a video you already made.** English is the supported source language. MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V up to 200MB on free.
2. **Generate the full package.** Create In Chinese translates and subtitles the full video, then prepares the cover treatment and bilingual caption in the same pass.
3. **Review, export, post.** Open the project, review the fully subtitled video, tighten the cover and caption, and export a package that is ready to post on RedNote.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to know Chinese?

No — and you never have to guess. The English source stays next to every Chinese line in the subtitles, cover, and caption, every line is checked automatically after translation, and nothing publishes until you export it yourself.

### Why RedNote / Xiaohongshu?

RedNote (Xiaohongshu) has over 400 million monthly active users, according to Reuters, but it is still early for English-speaking creators. Content you have already proven on YouTube, TikTok, or Reels can land there with far less competition than it faces at home.

### What is Create In Chinese?

Create In Chinese is a web app that turns one English-language video into a Chinese-ready publish package: the full video with Chinese subtitles burned in, a Chinese cover image, and a bilingual Chinese and English caption, ready to post on RedNote / Xiaohongshu, WeChat Channels, Douyin, and Bilibili.

### How long does it take?

Most videos finish in about 3 to 5 minutes. You get one complete package instead of orchestrating multiple tools.

### Can I post on RedNote if I don't live in China?

Yes. You can create a RedNote account with an international phone number and post from anywhere. Our guide on posting to Xiaohongshu in English walks through account setup and what the feed rewards.

### What languages are supported today?

Today it’s English-language videos in, Simplified Chinese subtitles, cover text, and captions out. More source languages are planned.

### What video formats work?

MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V. Up to 200MB on free and 2GB on Pro. There is no duration limit.

### Can I edit the subtitles, cover, and caption?

Yes. The project stays editable after processing so you can refine subtitle timing, update the cover text, and adjust the bilingual caption before export.

### When should I upgrade to Pro?

Start with the free preview to see one of your own videos with Chinese subtitles in the app. Upgrade when you want to download it: Pro includes every download (subtitled video, cover, captions, and full package) and 30 videos a month.
