WHY THIS EXISTS

SRT and VTT are close, but not the same

SRT (SubRip) is the most widely supported subtitle format, but HTML5 video and web players need WebVTT (.vtt). The two look almost identical, with a few key differences: VTT uses a period in the timecodes and needs a WEBVTT header, while SRT uses a comma and numbered cues.

This converter handles those differences for you. Paste your SRT and get valid VTT back, with the header added, the timecodes fixed and the cue numbers removed.

WHAT IT DOES

Clean, valid WebVTT in one pass

It adds the required WEBVTT header, converts every timecode from 00:00:01,000 to 00:00:01.000, and drops the numeric cue-index lines that VTT does not need. The result is clean, standards-compliant VTT you can drop straight into a track element.

Everything runs in your browser, so your subtitle file is never uploaded or stored.

GREAT FOR

Web developers, editors and creators

Web developers convert SRT captions to VTT to add them to HTML5 video with a track tag. Video editors and creators move subtitles between tools that prefer one format or the other.
