Upload an SRT file, remove timestamps, and export the plain subtitle text as TXT – with paragraphs, line breaks, or one continuous transcript.
Your SRT file is converted locally in your browser. No upload required.
Use the extracted text for translations, summaries, or open the subtitles directly in the Studio for visual editing.
An SRT file contains sequence numbers and timecodes in addition to the visible subtitle text. For blog posts, podcast notes, YouTube descriptions, or translation briefs, those technical lines get in the way. This SRT to TXT converter extracts the readable text and removes the SRT structure directly in your browser.
Not every TXT export has the same purpose. Paragraphs are useful for readable transcripts. A continuous text is often better for a YouTube description. Speaker labels can matter for translation briefs, while they may be distracting in a blog post.
| Option | Result | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Keep paragraphs | Each subtitle block is exported as its own paragraph. | Transcripts, meeting notes, review documents |
| One line per subtitle | Each SRT block becomes a single TXT line. | Tables, manual correction, technical post-processing |
| Continuous text | All subtitles are merged into one flowing text. | Blog posts, YouTube descriptions, summaries |
Extracted subtitle text is more than a transcript. It is a starting point for content recycling, translation, internal documentation, and SEO copy around existing videos.
Many SRT files contain simple formatting such as <i>, <b>, or <font color="...">. For a plain TXT transcript, these tags are usually noise. When the option is enabled, the converter removes HTML tags and decodes common entities such as or &.
After the TXT export, you can reuse the text or convert it back into a subtitle file. For real video synchronization, TXT alone is not enough because plain text files do not contain exact timecodes.
