Subtitle Converter: SRT to VTT, VTT to SRT and Plain Text
SRT, VTT and plain text
Convert subtitle files between SRT, VTT and plain text. Text only, no video upload.
This tool is available on the paid plans (Creator, Pro and Studio). It does not use tool credits.
Convert subtitle files between SRT, WebVTT (VTT) and plain text. Paste your subtitles or load a file and download the converted version. It works as text only, in your account, with no video upload.
How it works
The converter reads the timings and text of every subtitle, then writes them in the format you choose. SRT and VTT keep all timings and basic italic, bold and underline tags. Converting to plain text drops timings and tags and keeps one line per subtitle line. Plain text to SRT or VTT has no real timings, so each line gets a fixed duration that you choose, and you should fix the timing afterwards.
Steps
- Sign in and make sure you are on a paid plan (Creator, Pro or Studio).

Who it is for

What about plain text with no timings?
Plain text to SRT or VTT gives each line the same duration (you choose it, for example 3 seconds). These are placeholder timings, so adjust them with the Subtitle Timing Fixer or your editor.
