The right subtitle format
Different players and platforms expect different subtitle formats. VLC and most TVs use SRT, web players and YouTube use WebVTT, and anime and karaoke subtitles often use the styled ASS/SSA format. The converter switches between these formats while keeping your timings and text.
Supported conversions
- SRT ↔ VTT (WebVTT)
- ASS / SSA → SRT or VTT
- Any format to plain text (TXT)
Basic styling (italic, bold, underline) is converted where the target format supports it.
Reliable processing
The converter runs on our server and handles different line endings and encodings. Uploaded files are deleted automatically shortly afterwards.

Why use this tool?

FAQ
What's the difference between SRT and VTT?
Both are simple text formats; VTT is designed for the web, starts with a WEBVTT header and uses a dot instead of a comma in timestamps.
Are styles kept when converting ASS to SRT?
No. SRT doesn't support colour, position or fonts; only the text and basic italic/bold remain.
Which format should I upload to YouTube?
YouTube accepts both SRT and VTT files.
