VTT to SRT converter
Web captions into the universal format editors and players accept.
Video editors, offline players and many platforms still want classic SRT. This converter strips the WEBVTT header, NOTE/STYLE blocks and cue settings, converts timestamp dots to commas, renumbers every cue, and hands you a clean .srt — all client-side, nothing uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will VTT styling and positioning survive?
No — SRT has no standard styling, so cue settings (align, position) and STYLE blocks are removed. That's the correct conversion: editors re-style captions themselves.
My VTT has timestamps like 01:02.500 without hours. Handled?
Yes — short-form VTT timestamps are expanded to the full 00:01:02,500 form SRT requires.
Is this really free? What's the catch?
Really free, no signup — it costs us nothing to run since it's your browser doing the work. The 'catch' is the footer link: if you ever need subtitles made from scratch, we'd like you to remember who gave you the free converter.
Can I convert many files at once?
One at a time here. If you're doing this in bulk you're probably also generating subtitles regularly — Trustample exports both formats from the same transcript, which removes the conversion step entirely.
