Better Subs for Crunchyroll

Mix and match subtitle and audio languages on Crunchyroll, with a custom subtitle overlay and adjustable size, sync, and style.

On Crunchyroll, subtitle tracks are tied to the audio dub you select. If you choose the English dub, you're limited to that dub's subtitles. Better Subs for Crunchyroll removes that restriction, allowing you to use any available subtitle language with any audio track! 🌍 Mix and match audio and subtitles however you prefer. Watch the English dub with the original Japanese-based subtitles, or watch the Japanese audio with French subtitles. All subtitles are fetched directly from Crunchyroll's servers — nothing is added, modified, or sourced externally. A custom subtitle overlay preserves the original styling and positioning while giving you deep customization options. 🚀 FEATURES • Independent audio and subtitles — Use any available subtitle language regardless of the selected dub. • In-player subtitle picker — Browse all available subtitle languages from a dropdown menu with live status indicators (Available, Wrong File, or Missing). • Accurate subtitle rendering — Preserves positioned signs, per-line styling, fade effects, and other formatting from the original subtitle files instead of reducing everything to plain text. • Automatic wrong-file recovery — Detects when Crunchyroll has linked an incorrect subtitle file and automatically retrieves a correct version from another dub when available. ⚙️ EXTENSIVE CUSTOMIZATION • Auto-enable subtitles • Subtitle size scaling (25–250%) • Timing offset adjustment (±60 minutes in 0.1-second increments) • Vertical positioning • Live preview for all appearance settings • Full style overrides — Adjust fonts, colors, outlines, shadows, and frosted-glass background boxes. ⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS • Alt+J — Toggle the subtitle overlay • C — Quickly enable or disable subtitles while watching • Per-episode memory — Remembers your last selected subtitle language for each episode automatically. 💡 GOOD TO KNOW Occasionally Crunchyroll links the wrong subtitle file to an episode on their own servers. Better Subs detects this and swaps in a correct copy from another dub when one exists. If every copy on their side is wrong, the source picker flags that language until Crunchyroll fixes the file. 🛠️ HELP SHAPE IT Better Subs is new and under active development, so you may hit the occasional rough edge. Bug reports, feature ideas, and feedback are genuinely welcome — they directly steer where the extension goes next! Reporting is built right in now: if something breaks, a one-click "Send a report?" prompt appears by the player, and you can send a report (with an optional note) anytime from the pop-up menu. • Reports attach a small diagnostic log to help fix the issue faster. • It is entirely optional (toggle it off in the pop-up). • All personal access tokens are strictly stripped out. • Absolutely nothing is sold or shared.
