Question 1

What is the difference between SRT and VTT?

Accepted Answer

SRT (SubRip) is a simple subtitle format with sequential numbers and comma-separated timestamps. VTT (WebVTT, .vtt) is the W3C standard for HTML5 video: it starts with a WEBVTT header, uses dot-separated timestamps, and supports styling and cue settings. Browsers and most HTML5 players require VTT.

Question 2

How do I convert SRT to VTT?

Accepted Answer

Paste your SRT content, make sure SRT to VTT mode is active, then click Convert. The tool adds the WEBVTT header, replaces commas in timestamps with dots, removes sequence numbers and outputs clean WebVTT.

Question 3

Can I convert VTT back to SRT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch to VTT to SRT mode, paste your WebVTT content, and click Convert. The tool removes the WEBVTT header and cue settings, converts timestamps back to comma format and numbers each cue.

Question 4

Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. The conversion is pure text processing that runs entirely in your browser. Your subtitles never leave your device.
