Convert subtitle files without re-transcribing.

Use an existing subtitle file when you only need a different format. The converter reads text and cue timings locally, lets you review the result and exports a new file. It does not need the original audio or video.

How to convert SRT, VTT and other text subtitles

  1. Drop a UTF-8 subtitle file above, or paste subtitle text. Choose Load example if you want to explore the tool first.
  2. Select Output format. For pasted text, choose Convert. For MicroDVD frame-based SUB files, enter the source frame rate before parsing.
  3. Review warnings, text and timings. Choose the download button, then test the output in its destination player.

Pick an output that keeps what you need

SRT and VTT keep timed cues. TXT and Word are reading documents rather than subtitle tracks. JSON keeps structured cue data. PDF export uses a limited built-in font and rejects unsupported characters; use Word or TXT when that happens.

Keep the original, especially for styled subtitles

Conversion can discard rich styling, positioning and metadata. Image subtitles and binary SUB files are not supported. Untimed text cannot be exported as timed SRT or VTT. Converting formats does not translate the text or correct synchronization against a changed video.

Need specific formats? Open SRT to VTT or VTT to SRT. If you only have media, start with the subtitle generator.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few answers,
before you start.

Still have a question? Say hello

01Does converting subtitles require an upload to a server?＋

No. Text subtitle parsing, editing and export happen in your browser. This tool does not send the subtitle contents to a conversion server.

02Which files can I convert?＋

The parser accepts text-based SRT, VTT, ASS/SSA, SAMI, supported SUB and TXT files. Files must be UTF-8 text; image-based or binary subtitles are not supported. Review any parser warnings.

03Will subtitle styling be preserved?＋

The converter rebuilds files from cue text and timing. Rich styling, positioning and format-specific metadata may be lost. Keep your original file and preview the result.

04Can plain text become timed subtitles?＋

Untimed text can be exported as a reading document, but timed SRT and VTT export is disabled when timing information is missing. Use transcription on the source recording to create a timed draft.

05How many subtitle files can I convert?＋

Select up to 50 text files, no larger than 5 MB each. ZIP uploads are limited to 25 MB and 50 MB of expanded text. Successful batches can be downloaded together as a ZIP.
