VTT to SRT Converter

FloxerFile converts WebVTT subtitle files to the SRT (SubRip) format supported by nearly every video player and editing tool. The conversion runs entirely as text parsing — no video re-encoding involved — so it completes instantly regardless of file size.

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your VTT file

   Drag and drop your .vtt file into the converter, or click to browse.

2. 2

   Convert

   Click Convert to SRT. The conversion is instant — it's just text reformatting.

3. 3

   Download your SRT file

   Download the SRT file directly to your device. Your file is never stored — it is deleted immediately after conversion.

Features

• No video re-encoding involved

  No video re-encoding involved — this is a straight text/timestamp reformat, instant regardless of the video's length.

• Correct decimal separator conversion

  WebVTT's period decimal separator (00:00:01.500) is converted to SRT's required comma (00:00:01,500).

• Adds required cue numbers

  SRT requires each cue to be numbered sequentially; WebVTT doesn't. Numbers are generated automatically in the output.

• Rejects broken cue blocks

  Files with invalid timestamps, a missing WEBVTT header, or no valid cue blocks are rejected with a clear error.

Supported formats

Output format: .srt

Frequently asked questions

What's actually different between VTT and SRT?

The decimal separator in timestamps (period vs. comma), the WEBVTT header line VTT requires and SRT doesn't have, and cue numbering, which SRT requires.

Does the timing stay precise after conversion?

Yes — timestamps are parsed and re-emitted precisely, nothing is rounded or shifted.

Why would I need SRT instead of WebVTT?

SRT is the format most desktop video players and video editing software expect — WebVTT is mainly a web/HTML5 standard.

Do you retain a copy of my subtitle file?

Your subtitle file is parsed and converted entirely in server memory, then deleted immediately after download.
