Split SRT & VTT Subtitles at a Time
Split a subtitle file into two parts at a chosen timestamp. Keep the original timing or restart the second part at zero.
About Split Subtitles
When a long video becomes two clips, its caption file needs the same cut. Enter the cut point in seconds, then download two subtitle files. Resetting the second part's timeline makes it line up with a clip that starts at that cut.
What to expect
- The cut must fall between zero and the last subtitle end, with captions on both sides.
- A caption crossing the cut appears in both outputs, clipped to each part's time range. Its text is retained.
- Reset second part to zero subtracts the cut time from every caption in that part. It does not move its first word to zero if there is an initial silence.

Frequently asked questions
What happens to a caption that crosses the cut?
The caption is included on both sides. The first ends at the cut; the second starts at the cut or at zero when resetting its timeline. The words are not divided or guessed.
Can the second part keep the original times?
Yes. Turn off Reset second part to zero. That output keeps the original recording's timeline.
Does splitting cut my video too?
No. Use the same cut point in your video editor. This tool produces only the two caption files.
