A web caption file for everything that isn't a browser

VTT is what you get from a web player, a streaming capture or a video platform's export — and it is the one format desktop and TV players are least likely to take. Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, most smart TVs, media servers and set-top boxes all expect SRT and many will not even list a .vtt file. The conversion is exact in this direction: SRT holds milliseconds too, so nothing is rounded and nothing is dropped except cue styling the target never supported.

About the SRT format

SubRip (.srt) is the most widely supported subtitle format in existence: plain text blocks with millisecond timestamps. YouTube, VLC, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve and virtually every player or editor accept it as-is.

What changes, and what doesn't

A subtitle file is a list of lines with a start and an end. Converting one rewrites how those three things are spelled — the words, the cue order and the timings themselves come through untouched, as long as the target format can hold them. Where it cannot, the rounding is the format's own: ASS and SSA keep hundredths of a second, MicroDVD counts frames, MPL2 tenths, TMP whole seconds, and plain text drops the timings entirely because it has nowhere to put them. Converting to SRT or VTT never loses anything, which is why those two are the safe formats to keep an archive in.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert VTT to SRT?

Open the converter, pick your VTT file, choose SRT and download. There is no upload step, no waiting and no account.

Are the timings preserved?

Exactly, to the precision the target format supports. SRT and VTT hold milliseconds, ASS and SSA hundredths, MicroDVD frames, MPL2 tenths and TMP whole seconds — the converter never shifts a cue beyond the rounding the format itself requires.

Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file stays on your machine even while the page is open.

How much does it cost?

Your first 2 files are free with no account, and a free account gives you 3 every month. After that, plans start at $2/month for 20 transcriptions — every subtitle format and free translation are included in each one.

Are my files stored anywhere?

No. Audio streams straight through to the recognition engine and is never written to disk; transcript texts are erased from our servers within 1 hour. Your lasting copy stays in your own browser.
