About these formats

ASS

ASS (and its predecessor SSA) was designed for typesetting-quality subtitles in the anime fansub community. Each cue can specify font, size, primary/secondary/outline/shadow colours, alignment, layer, position, and per-syllable karaoke highlighting via {\k} tags. It is the only subtitle format that can express broadcast-grade typography and complex on-screen effects.

LRC

LRC is a lightweight text format invented in 1998 to display synchronised lyrics alongside audio playback. Each line is preceded by a timestamp in [minutes:seconds.centiseconds] form, and most modern karaoke and music players (Foobar2000, MusicBee, KuGou, RockBox, Plex) read it natively. Enhanced LRC additionally supports per-word timestamps via inline <mm:ss.xx> tags, enabling true karaoke-style highlighting.

What survives the conversion

What changes in this conversion

LRC has nowhere to put the following, so it is dropped:

  • End time per cue — Whether a cue says when it stops, or simply runs until the next one begins.
  • Styling & positioning — Named styles, layers and on-screen placement carried in the file itself.

Questions

How do I convert ASS to LRC?

Paste your ASS into the input box, or open a file from your device. The converter runs in your browser and produces LRC instantly. Click Download to save it.

Is this free?

Yes — no signup, no credits, no upload. Conversion happens entirely on your device, so the file never leaves your browser.

Are timestamps preserved?

Yes. Timestamps round-trip from ASS into LRC with millisecond precision.

What if my ASS has styling or positioning?

Only what both formats can express survives a conversion. LRC keeps the timings and the text; formatting that LRC has no equivalent for is dropped rather than approximated.
