What is Downsub?

Downsub is a free and open source desktop application available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. It is designed to help you find and download subtitles for your movie and TV show video files.

To use Downsub, you simply point it to your existing video files. The app will analyze the videos to extract key information like file hash, resolution, and duration. It will then search its database of popular subtitle repositories like OpenSubtitles, Podnapisi, and more to find subtitle files that closely match your videos.

Once Downsub finds subtitle candidates, you can preview them before downloading to double check for timing and sync. Downsub supports downloading subtitles in popular formats like SRT, ASS, and more. The subtitles are automatically named and stored next to the video file for easy organization.

As an open source application, Downsub is completely free to use. It runs natively so requires no complex setup. Downsub simplifies the process of managing subtitles across large personal media libraries. Its simple interface allows you to queue up multiple videos to search and download missing subtitles quickly.
