Convert VTT to SRT
Turn WebVTT (.vtt) subtitles into SubRip (.srt) in your browser — paste or drop, download instantly. Free, no sign-up; the file never leaves your device.
Paste a WebVTT file (or open the .vtt) and get SubRip back in the same breath: the dot before milliseconds becomes a comma, the WEBVTT header and any NOTE or STYLE blocks are stripped, and cues are renumbered from 1. Everything runs locally — nothing uploads.
SRT remains the lingua franca of subtitle files: stand-alone players, Premiere and DaVinci imports, YouTube uploads and most TV media boxes expect it. When a tool rejects your .vtt, this page is the two-second fix.
VTT-only extras are handled honestly: cue settings like position or align have no SRT equivalent and are dropped — the cue text itself is untouched — and hour-less timestamps such as 02:11.500 expand to full HH:MM:SS,mmm form.
Frequently asked questions
- What happens to styling and positioning?
- SRT cannot represent VTT cue settings, so position and align hints are dropped. Text, including line breaks, is preserved exactly — re-apply positioning in your target tool if it matters.
- Is the VTT to SRT converter free?
- Completely — no sign-up, no watermark, no limits. It runs in your browser and keeps working offline once loaded.
- My VTT came from YouTube — will it work?
- Yes. YouTube caption downloads are WebVTT; markup inside cue text is kept as-is, which most SRT tools simply render as plain text.
