Paste subtitles or open an SRT or VTT file, pick the format you need, and download or copy the result. Shift the timing if the subtitles are early or late.

Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

## How to use it

1. **Add subtitles.** Open an SRT or VTT file, or paste its contents. The format is detected for you.
2. **Pick a format.** SRT, VTT or plain text. Add a shift in seconds if every subtitle is off by the same amount.
3. **Download or copy.** Save the converted file, or copy the text straight into another tool.

## SRT, VTT and TXT

SRT (SubRip) numbers each subtitle and writes times with a comma, as in 00:00:01,000. VTT (WebVTT), the format web video players read, starts with a WEBVTT line, writes times with a period and can also hold positions, styles and speaker tags. TXT keeps only the words.

Converting VTT to SRT drops what SRT can't hold, such as positions and speaker tags, and keeps italic, bold and underline. Converting to TXT drops every tag and timing, one subtitle per line.

## Fixing subtitles that are out of sync

If every subtitle shows up the same amount too early or too late, shift the timing: −1.5 moves them all 1.5 seconds earlier, 2 moves them 2 seconds later. The shift is the same for every subtitle, so it won't fix subtitles that drift further apart as the video plays.

Older Korean subtitle files saved as EUC-KR open without broken characters, and the result is saved as UTF-8.

## Questions

### How do I convert SRT to VTT?

Open the SRT file or paste it, keep VTT selected, and download the result. VTT is picked for you when the input is SRT.

### How do I get the text out of an SRT file?

Pick Text (TXT). You get the words without numbers or timings, one subtitle per line, ready to copy.

### Does it keep italics and positions?

Italic, bold and underline stay in SRT and VTT. Positions, styles and speaker tags only exist in VTT, so they're dropped when you convert to SRT.

### Why do Korean subtitles show broken characters?

They were probably saved as EUC-KR. This converter reads that encoding when a file isn't UTF-8 and saves the result as UTF-8.

### Are my subtitles uploaded?

No. They're converted in your browser and never leave your computer.
