How to convert subtitle files
Use the converter when the same captions need a different file format. It keeps cue order, timestamps, and text while handling WEBVTT headers, NOTE blocks, cue settings, and HTML-like markup. The file is processed in your browser and does not need an upload.
- Open SRT to VTT Converter.
- Choose the subtitle file you want to change.
- Select the conversion direction, SRT to WebVTT or WebVTT to SRT.
- Check any line-specific validation message, then save the converted subtitle file.
Convert SRT subtitles to WebVTT
Choose SRT to WebVTT when the output needs a .vtt file. The converter carries over cue order, timestamps, and text, then writes the WebVTT structure.
Convert WebVTT subtitles to SRT
Choose WebVTT to SRT when the output needs an .srt file. The converter preserves cue identifiers when SRT can represent them and renumbers them when SRT conventions require it.
What subtitle conversion preserves
Changing the format does not rewrite the caption wording. This cue keeps its timing and text in both forms:
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:04,000
Open the project file.
00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:04.000
Open the project file.
The converter handles format details too. It reads the WEBVTT header, NOTE blocks, cue settings, and HTML-like markup, and reports validation errors by line.
Examples of subtitle conversion
- Convert an SRT subtitle file to WebVTT.
- Convert a WebVTT subtitle file to SRT.
- Compare cue order, timestamps, and text after conversion.
When to use another subtitle tool
Use this category when the caption content is ready and the file needs a format change. Go to Subtitle Tools when you need to retime, style, merge, split, or validate subtitles.
