Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between VTT and SRT?

VTT (WebVTT) is a modern subtitle format that supports styling, positioning, and uses dots for milliseconds. SRT is a simpler, legacy format that uses commas for milliseconds and is widely supported by media players and video editors.

Will I lose subtitle text formatting during conversion?

Yes, formatting tags (like bold, italics, or text placement details) that are unique to WebVTT are removed to ensure the output SRT file is clean and fully compatible with all standard video players.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No, the conversion is done entirely locally in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server, keeping your data completely private.

Can I use the converted SRT file in Premiere Pro?

Yes, the generated SRT file follows standard formatting rules and is perfectly compatible with Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and other video editors.
