Convert any WebVTT file to a clean SRT

Both are plain-text subtitle formats with the same job, so the gap is narrow. WebVTT (.vtt) starts with a WEBVTT header and can carry styling, positioning, and region blocks. SRT (.srt) numbers each cue and writes timestamps with a comma before the milliseconds, not a period.

Drop your .vtt file onto the box or paste the WebVTT text, then click Convert to SRT. You get a numbered SubRip file you can copy or download as .srt. No account, no queue, and no waiting for an upload to finish.

Yes. This converter is free with no sign-up, no watermark, and no per-file limit on how many times you run it. Each file can be up to 5 MB, which covers full-length captions comfortably.

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so the subtitle text never leaves your device or touches a server. That keeps client work and unreleased video transcripts private, and it also means the tool works on a flaky connection.

Your timing stays exact to the millisecond. The only change is the format itself: WebVTT writes 00:00:01.000 and SRT writes 00:00:01,000, swapping the period for a comma. Cues are also renumbered from 1 and sorted by start time if the source was out of order.

Your spoken lines and basic <b>, <i>, and <u> formatting are preserved. SRT has no equivalent for WebVTT positioning, cue settings, NOTE, STYLE, and REGION blocks, so those are dropped and the output lists exactly what it removed.

By default a voice tag like <v Alice>Hi</v> keeps the line "Hi" and drops the tag. Tick "Prepend speaker name" before converting and the same cue becomes "Alice: Hi", which is handy for interview and podcast captions.

No download or extension is needed. It runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, or mobile, so a VTT file exported from YouTube or a video editor converts in place without Subtitle Edit, FFmpeg, or a desktop app.

This page converts one file at a time so you can review each result before downloading. For a handful of files that is quick; for a large recurring batch, a command-line tool like FFmpeg fits that workflow better.
