How it works
Convert one subtitle file in three reviewable steps
02
Choose the next format
Create a WebVTT or SRT caption file, or choose a plain-text transcript when timestamps are no longer needed.
03
Review and download
If a format cannot express some WebVTT data, the tool names that trade-off and waits for your confirmation.
No hidden conversion
A caption format and a transcript are different outputs.
SRT and WebVTT both store cue timing and text, but WebVTT can also carry headers, notes, regions, styles, and cue settings. Plain text intentionally leaves all timing behind. Pick the output that matches the next editor or player.
SRT to WebVTT
Creates a standard WEBVTT header and preserves every readable cue time and text line.
WebVTT to SRT
Works for readable cues, but asks before omitting VTT-only headers, notes, regions, styles, or cue settings.
Plain-text transcript
Combines each cue into a readable line and intentionally omits cue numbers and timestamps.
No upload
Reading, conversion, preview preparation, and download take place on your device.
FAQ
Common questions
Does it create subtitles from video or audio?
No. This tool converts an existing SRT or WebVTT text file. It does not transcribe, translate, burn captions into video, or inspect a media file.
Why do some WebVTT files need confirmation for SRT?
SRT has no place for WebVTT-only header metadata, notes, style blocks, regions, or cue settings. The tool reports their presence and requires confirmation before creating a copy that omits them.
Does a TXT transcript keep timestamps?
No. A TXT export is deliberately timestamp-free. It keeps each cue's text as written, including any inline cue markup, so it does not guess how markup should be rewritten.
Are subtitle files uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted locally in your browser. Got A Tool does not receive or store it.
