VTT to SRT Converter

What is the VTT to SRT Converter?

The VTT to SRT Converter is a free online tool that allows you to convert Web Video Text Tracks (.vtt) files back into the traditional SubRip (.srt) subtitle format. While VTT is the standard for the modern web and HTML5 <video> players, many desktop video players, legacy editing systems, and TVs still exclusively require .srt files.

Why Convert VTT to SRT?

WebVTT (.vtt) is often used on modern platforms (like YouTube, Netflix, or web-based LMS systems). However, if you download a .vtt file from the internet, you might find that your favorite offline video player (like VLC or Windows Media Player) or your video editing software (like Premiere Pro or Final Cut) doesn't natively support it, or struggles with VTT's advanced CSS styling flags. Converting it to the simpler .srt format guarantees maximum compatibility across all software and devices.

How to Use

1. Upload or Paste: You can either upload an existing .vtt file or paste the raw VTT text directly into the input area. (Make sure it starts with the WEBVTT header).
2. Convert: Click the "Convert to SRT" button. Our tool instantly strips away any complex VTT metadata/styling and formats the timestamps into standard SubRip syntax.
3. Download: Once converted, you can either copy the resulting SRT text or download it as a ready-to-use .srt file.

Privacy & Security

Your data is always secure. The file conversion is processed securely without permanently storing any of your intellectual property. Uploaded subtitle content is discarded immediately after conversion.
