Subtitles

Convert subtitle files.

Switch subtitles between SRT, VTT, ASS and SBV, and fix their timing.

Drop subtitle files here

SRT, VTT, ASS, SSA or SBV. Several at once is fine.

Your file stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded.

Drop one or more subtitle files, pick the format you need, and optionally move every line earlier or later. Everything runs in your browser, so the files stay on your device.

Different players and sites want different formats: web players use VTT, most video players and editors SRT, anime tools ASS, and YouTube’s older exports are SBV.

How to convert subtitles

  1. Drop your subtitle files on the box above.
  2. Pick SRT, VTT, ASS, SBV or plain text.
  3. Type a shift in seconds if the timing is off.
  4. Press Convert and download the files.

What each format is for

SRT is the simplest and most widely supported. VTT (WebVTT) is the format of HTML5 video players. ASS and SSA add fonts, colors and positions, used for anime and karaoke. SBV comes from YouTube. Plain text drops the timing and keeps the lines, handy for a transcript.

What changes in conversion

Text and timing are kept. Styling from ASS files (fonts, colors, positions) and formatting tags are removed, since SRT and SBV can’t hold them.
