Questions and answers

What is the difference between VTT and SRT?

VTT (WebVTT) is the subtitle format of HTML5 video players, used by browsers, Vimeo and most online course platforms. It looks like SRT with a WEBVTT header and dots in the times. SRT (SubRip) is the most widely supported subtitle format: numbered blocks with a start time, an end time and the text. Almost every player, editor and platform reads it.

Is the VTT to SRT 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.
