How to convert ASS to SRT

Convert ASS to SRT online. CutConvert reads Advanced SubStation Alpha (.ass) and SubStation Alpha (.ssa) scripts, strips the styling override tags, and writes clean, timed SRT subtitles that every player and editor accepts.

  1. Add your ASS/SSA files

    Drag your .ass or .ssa subtitle scripts onto the drop zone, or click to browse.

  2. Convert ASS to SRT

    Press Convert. Dialogue lines become numbered SRT cues — override tags stripped, line breaks and timing kept.

  3. Download your result

    Download the converted file instantly — or a single ZIP archive when you convert a batch of files.

ASS/SSA subtitles and SRT subtitles, explained

ASS/SSA is the styling-rich format used by Aegisub and the fansub world — positioned text, karaoke effects, fonts. Most players and NLEs want plain SRT. This converter parses the [Events] section, maps each Dialogue line to an SRT cue, converts the centisecond timing to milliseconds, and keeps the Name field as a speaker label when it is set.

Turn ASS/SSA subtitle scripts into clean SRT — override tags stripped, timing and line breaks kept. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

ASS to SRT FAQ

What happens to the styling tags?

Override tags like {\an8} and {\i1} are stripped, since SRT has no equivalent. The text, line breaks (\N), and timing survive; positioning and karaoke effects do not — that is inherent to SRT, not a converter limitation.

Does it handle both .ass and .ssa?

Yes. The converter reads the Format line of the [Events] section, so both the v4+ (.ass) and older v4 (.ssa) field layouts parse correctly.

Are speaker names kept?

When a Dialogue line has a real Name (actor) field, it is kept as a speaker label in the SRT cue. Style-only placeholders are ignored.

Will the timing stay frame-accurate?

ASS timestamps are centisecond-precise (H:MM:SS.cc) and convert exactly to SRT milliseconds — no re-timing, no drift.

Can I convert a whole season at once?

Drop a batch of .ass files and download one ZIP of SRTs. Free to start; guests convert up to 3 files per batch, and a free account raises the limits.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

More post-production formats are on the way.

Can I pick a frame rate?

Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output you can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, or let CutConvert auto-detect it from your source.
