Image subtitles

When enabled, prefer Netflix image-based subtitles; fall back to text subtitles for languages without image tracks.

On Netflix, some languages (such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) offer image subtitles in addition to text. With image subtitles enabled, the extension prefers image tracks; for languages without them, it uses text subtitles instead.

How it works

When enabled, subtitle selection prioritizes image versions. If a language has no image track, it falls back to text automatically—no manual switching.

How to turn it on

On a Netflix playback page, open the extension and enable image subtitles in the Settings tab (Netflix-only option). You can then use them as primary or secondary subtitles, same as text tracks.

Notes

  • This is a Netflix-only option—not available on other sites.
  • Image subtitles come from on-screen graphics, so some interactions (like word-level selection) differ slightly from pure text.
  • To add a translation alongside, pick your translation language in the Subtitles tab as usual.
