    Drop files or a whole folder onto the converter. Each file is checked and listed with its encoding and cue count.

  2. Keep SRT selected

  3. Download

    One file downloads as .srt; several come as one zip with your folder structure kept.

Details

What changes in the conversion

  • Dialogue lines are converted; Comment lines and vector drawings are left out.
  • {\i1}, {\b1} and {\u1} become <i>, <b> and <u>; other override codes (positions, colours, fades, karaoke) are removed.
  • \N line breaks become real line breaks, and \h becomes a non-breaking space.
  • Events are sorted by start time and overlapping lines are kept, so signs and dialogue at the same moment both appear.

FAQ

Questions

Are styles from the [V4+ Styles] section applied?

No. SRT has no styles, so the text is written with its inline italic, bold and underline only. Fonts, sizes, colours and positions from styles are not carried over.

Does it read files with a custom Format line?

Yes. The [Events] Format line decides which field is the start, end and text, and commas inside the dialogue text are kept.
