Convert WebVTT (.vtt) caption files to SubRip (.srt) format — free, instant, and fully private. No files leave your browser.
How to Convert VTT to SRT
Drop your .vtt file above and the converter produces a properly numbered SRT file. The tool handles VTT cue IDs, strips VTT-specific tags, converts dot millisecond separators to commas, and numbers all entries sequentially.
Why convert VTT to SRT?
- Video editors (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut) read SRT more reliably than VTT
- Many subtitle-editing apps only open SRT files
- Hardware media players and smart TVs prefer SRT
- Some broadcast and streaming delivery specs require SRT
What this converter removes
VTT-specific elements — the WEBVTT header, NOTE blocks, STYLE blocks, cue settings like align:center, and inline timestamp tags — are removed during conversion. The subtitle text and timing are preserved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert VTT to SRT?
SRT is the most universally accepted subtitle format. Video editors, hardware players, and many subtitle tools prefer SRT. If you downloaded WebVTT captions and need to import them into a video editor, converting to SRT is the right move.
Will VTT styling be preserved?
Basic HTML italic and bold tags are kept. VTT-specific cue settings (position, alignment, line) and inline timing tags are removed because SRT does not support them.
Can I convert YouTube auto-captions?
If you can download the YouTube captions as VTT (some browser extensions allow this), this converter will process them. For copied YouTube transcripts, use the YouTube → SRT tool instead.
