About VTT to SRT Converter Tool
Published: Last Updated:
This VTT to SRT Converter transforms WebVTT (.vtt) subtitle files back to SubRip (.srt) format — which is more widely supported by media players, video editors, and streaming platforms. The conversion removes the WEBVTT header, converts the period timestamp separator to a comma, and strips VTT-specific cue settings. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Key Features
- Removes WEBVTT header.
- Converts VTT period timestamps to SRT comma timestamps.
- Strips VTT positioning cue settings (line:, position:, align:).
- Download result as .srt file.
- Runs entirely in your browser.
How to Use the Tool
- Paste your VTT content or upload a .vtt file.
- The SRT-formatted output appears instantly.
- Copy or download the .srt file.
Core Benefits
- SRT is more universally supported by media players like VLC, Plex, and Kodi.
- Required when uploading to platforms that only accept SRT format.
- Video editing software often prefers SRT for importing captions.
Common Use Cases
- Converting VTT captions from a web player to SRT for use in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
- Uploading subtitles to YouTube (which accepts SRT directly).
- Using web-sourced captions in VLC or another media player.
Pro Tips
- VTT positioning settings (line:, position:, size:, align:) have no SRT equivalent and are stripped during conversion.
- After converting, check the SRT timestamps are correct — especially around 1-hour marks.
