VTT to SRT Converter

Convert WebVTT subtitle files to SRT while keeping cue timing and caption text. The conversion runs locally in your browser.

SRT and WebVTT differences

SRT uses comma-separated milliseconds and numbered cues, while WebVTT uses dot-separated milliseconds, a WEBVTT header, and optional cue identifiers. The converter rewrites the timing syntax and document structure while keeping caption text and cue order.

How to convert VTT to SRT

1. Load a subtitle file or paste its contents into the left editor.
2. Choose whether to keep WebVTT cue IDs and whether formatting tags should be removed.
3. Convert, review the generated cues, and download the SRT file.

Basic timing and caption text translate cleanly, but advanced WebVTT positioning, regions, CSS, and player-specific styling do not have direct SRT equivalents. Preview the converted subtitles with the target video player before publishing them.

VTT to SRT FAQ

What changes when VTT is converted to SRT?

The WEBVTT header is removed, cue times use commas for milliseconds, and SRT cue numbers are generated. Basic timing and caption text are kept.

Are WebVTT styles and cue settings preserved?

Not completely. WebVTT NOTE, STYLE, REGION blocks and advanced cue settings do not have direct SRT equivalents, so review captions that depend on them.

Can I remove formatting tags during conversion?

Yes. Enable Remove formatting tags when you want plain caption text; leave it off when you want compatible inline tags to remain for review.

Is my subtitle file uploaded?

No. The selected file or pasted subtitle text is read and converted in this browser tab.
