How to do it, step by step
- Open or drag the .vtt file (or paste the content into the Input box).
- Check the result in the Output box.
- Click Download SRT, or Copy result.
When this is useful
Use a website’s subtitles in a computer player
Many programs and televisions open SRT, but not VTT.
Edit the subtitles in a program that only understands SRT
Convert, edit and, if needed, go back to VTT.
Tips for a good result
- The downloaded file takes the original’s name with the .srt extension.
- The blocks are numbered in order, starting from 1.
What this tool does not do
- Comments (NOTE), position and alignment from the VTT do not carry over to the SRT: in the test, “position:50% align:center” and a NOTE line were left out.
- Italic and bold tags (<i>, <b>) are kept, unless you choose to remove them.
- Subtitle files of up to 5 MB; ZIP of up to 256 MB; video of up to 2 GB.
- Everything happens in the browser: the file is not sent. The only exception is the optional translation, which sends only the text of the lines.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I lose the lines?
- No. All the lines and all the times are kept; only features exclusive to VTT, such as position and comments, are lost.
- Which formats go in?
- SRT, VTT, ASS, SSA, JSON, TXT and Markdown, with automatic detection.
