SRT to VTT Converter: Subtitles for the Web

HTML5 video players expect WebVTT, while almost every subtitle editor produces SRT. This converter bridges the two in one click, entirely inside your browser.

What the converter does

The Same Subtitles, in the Format the Player Wants

SRT and WebVTT describe the same thing in slightly different syntax. Converting is a mechanical job, and doing it by hand in a text editor is how mistakes get made.

Nothing Is Uploaded

The conversion happens in the page itself. Your subtitle file is never sent to the Bubixo server.

Instant Result

There is no queue and no processing time. Choose the file and the VTT is ready.

Timings Preserved

Every cue keeps its start and end time; only the separator format changes.

Line Breaks Kept

Two-line captions stay two-line captions, so reading speed does not change.

Free and Unlimited

No account, no watermark on the file and no limit on how many files you convert.

Download as .vtt

The finished WebVTT file downloads with the extension your player expects.

How it works

Three Steps, No Waiting

The whole process is local, so it works the same on a slow connection.

1

Choose Your SRT

Drop a .srt file onto the page or select it from your device.

2

Convert

Press the convert button. The page rewrites the file in WebVTT syntax immediately.

3

Download the VTT

Save the .vtt file and attach it to your HTML5 player or upload it wherever WebVTT is required.

Supported files

SubRip In, WebVTT Out

One input format, one output format, no settings to get wrong.

SRT

SubRip Input

The numbered subtitle format produced by nearly every subtitle editor and transcription tool.

VTT

WebVTT Output

The format HTML5 video, browser players and many web platforms require for caption tracks.

The converter reads the text of your subtitle file. It does not need the video, and it cannot repair a file whose timestamps are already malformed.

Use cases

When a Player Refuses Your Subtitles

WebVTT is the format the web standardised on, so this conversion comes up constantly.

HTML5 Video

Add a caption track to a <video> element on your own site, which requires WebVTT.

Learning Platforms

Upload captions to a course platform that only accepts .vtt files.

CMS and Hosting

Meet the subtitle requirements of a video host that rejects SRT uploads.

Accessibility Work

Deliver captions in the format screen-reader-friendly players expect.

Privacy and responsible use

Your Subtitle File Stays on Your Device

Subtitles are a transcript of everything said in a video, which often means they contain more sensitive material than the video description does.

  • Conversion happens in your browser; the file is not uploaded to the Bubixo server.
  • Nothing is stored, so there is no copy to delete afterwards.
  • Only convert subtitles you own or have permission to process.
  • Check the converted file before publishing captions for someone else's video.
  • Keep the original SRT: it remains the format most editors prefer to work in.

⚠ Good to know

A Format Converter, Not a Subtitle Editor

The tool rewrites syntax. It does not translate the dialogue, re-time cues, split long lines, fix overlapping timestamps or check reading speed. If a cue was wrong in the SRT, it will be equally wrong in the VTT.

WebVTT supports styling and positioning cues that plain SRT has no way to express. Converting gives you a valid, simple VTT file; any advanced positioning has to be added afterwards in a subtitle editor.

Frequently asked questions

SRT to VTT FAQ

What is the difference between SRT and VTT?

WebVTT starts with a WEBVTT header and uses a period before milliseconds, while SRT uses a comma and no header. WebVTT also supports styling that SRT cannot express.

Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser and the file is not sent to the Bubixo server.

Are my timings preserved?

Yes. Every cue keeps its start and end time and its line breaks; only the syntax changes.

Is there a file size or usage limit?

The tool is free to use and works on ordinary subtitle files, which are small text documents.

Can it translate the subtitles too?

No. For translation into another language use the Bubixo AI Subtitle Translator.

Can I convert back from VTT to SRT?

Yes, with the companion VTT to SRT converter.
