Text and timing conversion
Both hour-based and minute-based WebVTT timestamps are accepted. Cue identifiers are replaced with consecutive SRT numbers.
VTT to SRT Converter
Prepare WebVTT captions for an editor or player that needs SRT. The converter reads WEBVTT cues, retains their plain text and timings, and generates numbered SubRip captions with comma-separated milliseconds.

How to use this tool

WebVTT layout is not SRT layout
WebVTT cue settings, STYLE/REGION blocks and inline caption formatting are not preserved. Plain text and timing are the supported conversion scope.
Frequently asked questions
Will the converter translate captions?
No. The caption language remains unchanged. This is a file-format conversion.
Can I use it without signing in?
Yes. Existing subtitle conversion is free and runs locally in your browser.
Why did validation fail?
Check that every cue has a valid start/end timestamp, a positive duration and an ordered start time. Files must be no larger than 2 MB.
