About these formats
VTT
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 →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>).

Questions
How do I convert VTT to SRT?
Paste your VTT into the input box, or open a file from your device. The converter runs in your browser and produces SRT 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 VTT into SRT with millisecond precision.
What if my VTT has styling or positioning?
Only what both formats can express survives a conversion. SRT keeps the timings and the text; formatting that SRT has no equivalent for is dropped rather than approximated.
