How to

How to convert SRT to TXT

  1. Drop your .srt files

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

  2. Keep Plain text selected

    Plain text is preselected on this page. Set a time offset or strip tags under Options if you need to.

  3. Download

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

Details

What changes in the conversion

  • Cue numbers and timing lines are removed.
  • Formatting tags (<i>, <b>, <font>) and position codes are removed.
  • Each cue becomes one paragraph with a blank line between cues; line breaks inside a cue are kept.
  • Plain text has no timings, so it cannot be converted back to SRT.

FAQ

Questions

Does it merge lines into sentences?

No. Each cue stays a paragraph and keeps its own line breaks, so the text matches the subtitles exactly.

Can I convert other formats to text?

Yes. WebVTT, ASS/SSA and MicroDVD files convert to plain text the same way; choose TXT in the converter.
