VTT to SRT converter
Turn a WebVTT file into SRT — in your browser, nothing uploaded. Free, no sign-in. Drop a file below.
Convert VTT to SRT
One step, no install. Drop your .vtt file into the tool above — or paste its text — and the SubRip version appears in the output pane straight away. Copy it, or download a ready .srt file. Everything runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded and there’s no limit.
The timings travel with the file, so the subtitles stay in sync once converted — only the WEBVTT header and the dot-vs-comma in the timecodes change.
Why you’d want SRT
SRT (SubRip) is the most widely supported subtitle format there is. Desktop players, TV apps, and especially video editors read it without fuss, while WebVTT is mostly a web-only format. So when an editor or player won’t accept your .vtt file, converting it to SRT is usually the fix. Same lines, same timings — just the wrapper most tools expect.
Drop it straight into an editor
Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut and the rest all import SRT to burn captions onto a clip or build a subtitle track. Convert your VTT here, download the .srt, and load it into the timeline. Going back to the web later? SRT to VTT reverses it. If you just need the words for notes, VTT to text strips the timings out, and YouTube captions to text covers the same idea straight from a video link.
