About Subtitle Converter

Use one converter for caption files from web players, subtitle editors and YouTube workflows. The file content determines its input format. Choose SRT for a SubRip workflow, VTT for a web caption track, or TXT when you only need the words.

What to expect

  • Accepts text-based .srt, .vtt, .ass, .ssa and .sbv files up to 2 MB each.
  • Timing and dialogue are retained. Exports use plain captions; styles, karaoke effects, positioning and metadata are removed with notes.
  • Image subtitles, embedded video tracks and plain text without timestamps need different processing. They are not supported here.

Frequently asked questions

Which formats can I convert?

Input supports SRT, VTT, ASS, SSA and SBV. Output supports SRT, VTT and TXT. ASS and SSA dialogue events are supported, including commas and line breaks in the text.

Can I convert SUB, PGS or a video?

Not in this converter. Some SUB and PGS files contain images that require OCR. To generate captions from speech, use Video to Text. Renaming a file does not convert its contents.

Does conversion preserve subtitle styling?

The result preserves readable text and cue times. Advanced styling, drawing events and positioning cannot be preserved in plain-caption output; conversion notes explain the losses.
