About these formats

TTML

TTML is a W3C XML standard for timed text. It supports rich styling, regions, animations and accessibility metadata, and is the format Apple Music ships synchronised lyrics in (TTML 2 with Apple's iTunesTimedText profile). It also underpins SMPTE-TT for broadcast captions and is exported by professional subtitling suites such as EZTitles, Subtitle Edit and FAB.

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.
  • Cue identifiers — A handle for each cue, useful when diffing or re-syncing.

Questions

How do I convert TTML to LRC?

Paste your TTML 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 TTML into LRC with millisecond precision.

What if my TTML 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.
