Questions and answers

Which format should I choose?

SRT for almost any player, TV, YouTube or video editor; VTT for websites and HTML5 players; ASS for styled subtitles and anime; SBV for YouTube; TXT for just the text; CSV to review or translate in Excel or Google Sheets.

Is the subtitle converter free?

Yes, free with no limits and no account. The file is converted on your own device and never uploaded.

Will I lose styling or positions?

Times, text and line breaks are always kept. Italic, bold and underline are kept where the new format supports them; colours, fonts and positions of ASS files are only kept when you save as ASS again.
