About these formats

SRT

SRT was created for the SubRip ripper utility and is now the lingua franca of subtitling: every video player, every YouTube uploader, every editing suite reads it. Each cue is a numbered block of plain text bracketed by a start→end timestamp written as `HH:MM:SS,mmm`. Styling is generally limited to a few HTML-style tags (<i>, <b>, <font>).

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.

Questions

How do I convert SRT to ASS?

Paste your SRT into the input box, or open a file from your device. The converter runs in your browser and produces ASS 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 SRT into ASS with millisecond precision.

What if my SRT has styling or positioning?

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