Strip SRT subtitles down to clean plain text

Drop your .srt file in or paste the subtitle text, then click Extract text. You get clean transcript text back, which you can copy or download as a .txt file. Nothing needs setting up.

The cue numbers, the timestamp lines, and any formatting tags like <i> or <font> are stripped out. HTML entities such as &amp; are decoded back to real characters, so only the spoken words remain.

By default, yes. Every cue is joined into one continuous run of prose, which reads like a transcript rather than stacked subtitle lines. If you'd rather keep them apart, there's an option for that.

Yes. Tick "Preserve line breaks" before extracting, and each cue becomes its own paragraph separated by a blank line. Leave it off and everything merges into a single continuous block.

No. The whole conversion runs inside your browser, so the file never reaches a server. There is nothing to upload and no account to create, which also means it works the same offline once the page has loaded.

Underneath, yes. An .srt opens in any text editor like Notepad, but it's cluttered with numbered cues and timestamps. This tool clears those markers away and leaves you just the readable text.

This tool drops the timecodes on purpose, since the goal is clean reading text. If you need the timings alongside the text, keep the original .srt, which already pairs each line with its start and end time.

No. It's a web page, not a download or a browser extension, so there's nothing to install and nothing asking for permissions. Open the page, convert, and you're done.

Up to 5 MB per file, which covers even a feature-length transcript comfortably. If a file is larger than that, split it and run the parts separately.
