VTT to SRT Converter

Why convert VTT to SRT?

WebVTT is designed for HTML5 video, while SubRip (SRT) is the most widely accepted subtitle format in desktop editors and upload forms. If a platform rejects your .vtt file or a video editor cannot import it, converting to SRT is usually the fastest fix.

How to convert VTT to SRT

1. Paste the WebVTT content or upload a .vtt file.
2. Press Convert to SRT.
3. Copy the result or download a .srt file.

• The WEBVTT header is removed.
• Each cue gets a numeric index.
• Timestamp dots become commas, for example 00:00:01.000 becomes 00:00:01,000.
• Dialogue and cue timing are preserved.
