About these formats
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.

WebVTT is the official W3C standard for HTML5 <track> elements. It looks similar to SRT but uses a `WEBVTT` header, periods (not commas) as decimal separators, and supports cue settings (position, alignment, line), regions, NOTE comments, and styling via inline ::cue rules. This is the format YouTube, Vimeo, JW Player and every browser-based player consume internally.
Full VTT guide →What survives the conversion
What changes in this conversion
VTT has nowhere to put the following, so it is dropped:
- Word-level timing — Per-word timestamps for true karaoke highlighting.
- File-level tags — Title, artist and album stored in the file rather than alongside it.
End times are calculated, not copied. LRC marks only where a line starts, so each cue runs until the next one begins — or 5 seconds, whichever is shorter. The final line always gets 5 seconds.
Timing survives intact. VTT records milliseconds where LRC records centiseconds, so nothing is rounded away.

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 LRC into VTT with millisecond precision.
What if my LRC has styling or positioning?
Only what both formats can express survives a conversion. VTT keeps the timings and the text; formatting that VTT has no equivalent for is dropped rather than approximated.
