Your file never leaves your device — the conversion runs in your browser.
Shift: a positive number makes subtitles appear later, a negative one earlier (e.g. -1.5).
Paste or drop a subtitle file to convert it.
All three store the same thing — numbered or unnumbered blocks of text, each with a start and end time — but different players expect different formats.
00:01:02,500.WEBVTT line, uses a full stop in timestamps (00:01:02.500) and can carry positioning, styling and speaker tags.0:01:02.500,0:01:05.000.YouTube's automatic captions scroll up line by line, so when you download them every line appears twice and the file is full of word-timing tags. The converter detects these files and removes the repeated lines and tags, leaving one clean line per caption — ready to convert to SRT or to read as a transcript.
Automatic captions still miss names, technical terms and speaker changes. If the text matters — a lecture, a court recording or a published video — have the captions checked by people.
Captions make video accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers, let people watch with the sound off, and give search engines text to index. Many accessibility rules for public bodies and universities expect accurate captions on published video. Accurate means correct words, correct speakers and timing that matches the audio, which is where automatic captions most often fall short.
Paste the SRT file or drop it into the converter, choose VTT (WebVTT) and press Download. The converter adds the WEBVTT header and changes the comma in each timestamp to a full stop, which is the main difference between the two formats.
Drop the .vtt file in, choose SRT and download. Cues are numbered, timestamps switch to the SRT comma style, and VTT-only extras such as cue settings, NOTE and STYLE blocks are removed so any player or editor will open the file.
Yes. Choose Plain text to get readable paragraphs with the timestamps removed, or Text with timestamps for one line per subtitle with its start time. For YouTube auto-captions, tick the option to remove repeated lines first.
Enter an offset in seconds under Shift timing: a positive number makes every subtitle appear later, a negative one earlier. If the drift grows over the video, the subtitles were timed to a different cut and need re-timing.
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device and nothing is stored.
