SnapOtter 8532f3227b docs: audit all 157 tool pages against live schemas
Reconcile every tool page's parameters, defaults, and response shape against the tool's Zod settings schema and executionHint in code. Notable fixes: color-palette (add count + format params, hex output, median-cut algorithm), favicon (add 5 params, was documented as having none), qr-generate (add logoDataUri), convert (add ppm/eps/tga formats), video-loudnorm (-16 LUFS not -14), smart-crop (async 202 not sync 200), images-to-video (1080x1080 square), and several output-filename and behavior-note corrections.

Also normalize API endpoint paths to /api/v1/tools/<id> (no modality segment) and standardize curl examples on the Docker API port 1349. Verified with a clean docs build.

Permanently render subtitles onto video frames.

Burn Subtitles

Permanently render (hard-code) subtitles from an SRT, VTT, or ASS file onto every frame of a video.

API Endpoint

POST /api/v1/tools/burn-subtitles

Accepts multipart form data with a video file and a subtitle file. This is an async endpoint - it returns 202 Accepted immediately and progress is streamed via SSE at GET /api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
fontSize integer No 24 Subtitle font size in pixels (8-72)

Example Request

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/burn-subtitles \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "file=@clip.mp4" \
  -F "file=@subtitles.srt" \
  -F 'settings={"fontSize": 28}'

Example Response

{
  "jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
  "async": true
}

Notes

  • Upload two files: the first must be a video, the second must be a subtitle file (.srt, .vtt, or .ass).
  • Burned subtitles are permanently part of the video and cannot be turned off by the viewer. For toggleable subtitles, use the Embed Subtitles tool instead.
  • Progress updates are available via SSE at GET /api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress until the job completes.
