Convert SRT to VTT
Choose one UTF-8 SRT subtitle file and convert it to WebVTT for web video. Review the text and start and end times, optionally check how it appears with a local video, then save a UTF-8 subtitle file. Format conversion does not change subtitle timings.
What you can do
WebVTT is selected for saving
Choose an SRT file to start converting it to WebVTT. You can change the save format if needed.
Review the text and timings
Review the loaded subtitles in a list. Format conversion does not shift their timings.

When to use it
Add subtitles to web video
Convert subtitles received as SRT into a format for video players that support WebVTT.
Deliver subtitles as a separate file
Deliver subtitles to someone who requires WebVTT, without exporting the video again.
What changes from SRT to WebVTT
Convert the format, not just the extension
The output uses the WebVTT header and timing syntax. The tool does more than rename the extension from .srt to .vtt.
Check how subtitles appear where the video is published
Conversion preserves the text and line breaks. Check how styling and other display details appear in the player you will use.
Frequently asked questions
Will subtitle timings shift?
Format conversion does not change start and end times. It does not automatically synchronize subtitles that are already out of sync with the video.
Do I also need a video file?
The subtitle file is enough for conversion. Choose a local video only if you want to check how the subtitles appear in it.
What filename is used when saving?
The file keeps its original name with the extension of the selected format. For example, paper-fold.srt becomes paper-fold.vtt.
