Convert subtitles in three steps
Drop the subtitle file, pick the output format, and download. It happens instantly in your browser.
Every common subtitle format, one tool
Convert between SRT, VTT, ASS, TTML, and SBV. Pick a target format and swap in one step, no matter which one you started with. A styled episode-3.ass, for instance, drops down to a plain episode-3.srt that a basic player will accept.
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| SRT | The default; works almost everywhere |
| VTT | Web players (HTML5 <track>) |
| ASS | Styled captions with fonts, colors, positioning |
| TTML | Broadcast and streaming platforms |
| SBV | Older players that still expect it |
How the conversion works
The tool reads your subtitle file, rewrites its timings and text into the format you picked, and hands it back, all in JavaScript inside this page. Nothing is sent to a server, which matters because a subtitle file often carries a full transcript.
Need subtitles from a video? Generate them
No subtitle file yet? The subtitle generator builds captions straight from a video or audio file, speaker labels included, with 30 free minutes to start. It exports all five formats on this page natively (SRT, VTT, ASS, TTML, and SBV), so when you start from a video you can skip the conversion step entirely.
Frequently asked questions
Does my file upload?
No. The reformatting happens in the page you're on, so the file never leaves your device.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free, no signup, no limits.
Which subtitle formats does it support?
SRT, VTT, ASS, TTML, and SBV. Pick any of the five as your output format, whichever one you started with.
What's the difference between these formats?
SRT and VTT are plain-text formats almost every player accepts; ASS adds styling like fonts, colors, and position; TTML is used by broadcast and streaming platforms; SBV is Google's older format.
Can you make subtitles from my audio or video?
Yes, that's transcription rather than conversion. The subtitle generator builds captions from scratch with speaker labels, and the first 30 minutes are free.
