How to convert subtitles

  1. Press Choose file and select an .srt or .vtt file.
  2. The tool detects the format on its own: an SRT becomes a VTT, and a VTT becomes an SRT.
  3. Check the preview and press Download.

The differences between SRT and VTT

SRT numbers each subtitle and uses a comma in timestamps (00:00:01,000). WebVTT starts with a WEBVTT line, uses a dot (00:00:01.000) and is the subtitle format for HTML5 video.

The conversion keeps the timings and the text, with italics, bold and underline; VTT position settings are removed, because SRT doesn't support them.

Subtitles from audio or video

If you don't have subtitles yet, TraScrivo transcribes the audio and creates them with timings, ready as SRT or VTT. See our guide to SRT subtitles.
