Korean is spoken by around 80 million people, concentrated in South and North Korea with substantial communities in China, the United States, Japan and Central Asia. South Korea has among the highest broadband and smartphone penetration anywhere and one of the most video-saturated media environments in the world. As with Japanese, the grammar itself encodes formality — Korean has distinct speech levels, and the gap between the formal style used in corporate and instructional content and the polite conversational style used in most consumer media is wide enough that using the wrong one undermines the content. Unlike Japanese, though, Korean writes with spaces between phrases, which changes how subtitle lines break and makes captions somewhat more predictable to lay out.
KEY FEATURES
Everything your Korean version needs
Korean writes in spaced phrase units, so subtitle lines break at those boundaries rather than mid-phrase, and Hangul is never hyphenated across a line. Korean also fits fewer characters per line than English, since syllable blocks are denser than Latin letters. Pictory lets you set maximum lines per caption, tighten any line that runs long, and restyle captions to your brand.
The translated script is editable text, not a locked output. Fix a product name, hold one speech level across the whole script, or shorten a line that runs past its scene — then regenerate. Voiceover and captions update around your edit. Apply a brand kit and your Korean version carries the same logo, colors, fonts and intro as the English original.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I translate a video from English to Korean?
Upload your English video to Pictory, let it transcribe the audio, translate the transcript into Korean, then choose a Korean AI voice and generate matching subtitles. Review the Korean text before you export, then download the video and subtitle file.
Which Korean speech level should I use?
Use the formal style for corporate, compliance and instructional content, and the polite conversational style for marketing and social. The two are distinct enough that mixing them within one video reads as careless. Settle on one before you generate and check the transcript holds it throughout.
Do Korean subtitles break differently from English ones?
Yes. Korean writes in spaced phrase units and lines break at those boundaries, with no hyphenation across a line break. Korean also fits fewer characters per line than English because Hangul syllable blocks are denser, so a line sized for English will usually need shortening.
Will the Korean version keep my own voice?
Yes. Create a voice clone from your own recordings and apply it to the translated script, and the Korean version is narrated in your voice rather than a stock one. Voice clones are multilingual, so the same clone works across every language you publish in.
How accurate is the English to Korean translation?
Accuracy is strong when the source audio is clean and clearly paced, and the translation is fully editable before you render. Review the Korean transcript, correct brand names or technical terms, and the voiceover and captions regenerate around your edits.
Can I translate a Korean video back into English?
Yes — the workflow runs in both directions from the same upload. Pictory transcribes the Korean audio, translates it to English, and generates an English voiceover and subtitles the same way.
