How do I convert VTT to SRT?

To convert VTT to SRT, drop your .vtt file in and Pepys parses the cues and rewrites them as SubRip (.srt) – the format video editors and most players accept everywhere – with every timestamp preserved. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Free, no account.

How vtt to srt works

01

Add your .vtt file

Drop in the WebVTT file or paste its text – it stays on your device.

02

Convert instantly

Pepys parses the cues and rewrites them as SubRip (.srt), right in your browser.

03

Download the .srt

Grab the .srt file, timestamps intact, ready for any editor or player.

WebVTT is the web's caption format, but plenty of tools want SubRip instead: video editors like Premiere and Resolve, desktop players, and upload forms that only accept .srt. Pepys converts a .vtt to .srt in one step, carrying every cue and timestamp across and dropping the WebVTT header and styling tags that SRT doesn't use.

Everything happens in your browser – your subtitles never leave your device, there's nothing to install, and there's no account to create. Convert a short clip or a full feature the same way, free.
