How to convert CSV to SRT
Convert CSV to SRT online. CutConvert reads a spreadsheet of timed rows and writes valid, numbered SRT subtitles from the start, end, speaker, and text columns. Column names are matched flexibly and timestamps can be clock times or plain seconds.
Add your CSV file
Drag your .csv onto the drop zone. The header row tells the converter which columns are which.
Convert CSV to SRT
Press Convert. Each row becomes a numbered SRT cue; rows without a start time or text are skipped.
Download your result
Download the converted file instantly, or a single ZIP archive when you convert a batch of files.
CSV rows and SRT subtitles, explained
Translation sheets, logging tools, and localization exports all produce timed rows in CSV. This converter maps them back into playable subtitles: it finds the start/end/text/speaker columns from the header (start or in, end or out, text or caption or dialogue…), accepts clock timestamps or plain seconds, and writes standards-compliant SRT.
Turn spreadsheet rows with start times and text into clean, valid SRT subtitles, speakers included. 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.
CSV to SRT FAQ
What columns does the CSV need?
At minimum a start-time column and a text column. End times and speakers are used when present. Headers are matched flexibly: start/in/start time, end/out, text/caption/subtitle/dialogue, speaker/name.
What timestamp formats are accepted?
Clock stamps like 0:00:01.500 or 00:00:01,500, and plain seconds like 4.5. Mixed formats in one file are fine; each cell is parsed on its own.
Can I convert an Excel or Google Sheets file to SRT?
Yes. Save or download the sheet as CSV (File, Download, Comma-separated values in Google Sheets; Save As CSV in Excel) and drop that file here. Keep one row per subtitle.
My CSV has no header row. Will it still convert?
Usually. The converter looks for a column of timestamps and takes the widest text column, then tells you which columns it used so you can reorder them if the guess was wrong.
What happens to rows without an end time?
The cue runs until just before the next cue starts, with a readable duration estimated for the final cue, the same normalization used across CutConvert.
Where does a timed CSV usually come from?
Translation and QC sheets, subtitle spot lists, logging software, and this site's own SRT to CSV converter at /srt/csv. Edit in a spreadsheet, convert back to SRT.
Is it free?
Free to start. Guests convert 5 files a month at up to 100 KB each; a free account has no monthly cap on files within the free size limit and batches up to 100 files.

Why editors trust it
Free to start
Convert everyday batches for free. Create an account when you need large, high-volume jobs.
Batch in, one ZIP out
Convert a batch within your allowance and download a single ZIP, or one file if that is all you need.
Made for editors
Whole timelines from Premiere, Final Cut and Avid with transitions, markers, titles, keyframes, levels, nests and bins; captions that keep their italics, colour, placement and speakers across SRT, VTT, ASS, TTML, iTT, SCC and STL, any of them in, any of them out; transcripts into Premiere with the words the engine timed. Frame rates and timecode handled the way post expects.
Private by design
Files are converted in your browser. Queued files can be saved locally to restore your job after checkout. Conversion metadata helps us diagnose errors; file contents are not uploaded.
Questions, answered
Where are my files processed?
In your browser. The converter runs on your own machine and the file never leaves it; the site only records that a conversion happened. CutConvert never sees, stores, sells or shares your media.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
About an hour of footage per file is free, on every converter: 100 KB of subtitles or captions, 500 KB of Word transcript, 2 MB of transcript JSON, 1 MB of Resolve project, 5 MB of Final Cut XML, with Premiere projects and Avid AAF a little under the hour. Guests get five conversions a month, a free account has no monthly cap within those sizes, and above that project-to-project transfers are $5 per file. Every other conversion is $3, including project files to captions, reports or cut lists, and captions or transcripts into an editor. Pro is $9 a month ($90 a year) for every file type up to 50 MB; Studio is $19 a month ($190 a year) for files up to 500 MB. Paid-file access lasts 24 hours.
What do I get when I convert multiple files?
Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you get that one file back, no ZIP. Tick extra formats under the output chips and the same ZIP carries every one of them, and a file counts as one conversion whatever it is written to.
Which formats are supported?
Timelines: Premiere .prproj, DaVinci Resolve .drp (as exported, or gzip- or Zstandard-wrapped), Avid AAF and Final Cut FCPXML in; FCP7 XML, FCPXML, Resolve .drp, CMX 3600 EDL and shot-list CSV out. A Premiere or Final Cut edit travels with its transitions, markers, titles, opacity and scale keyframes, clip volume, speed changes, nested sequences, bins, audio channel routing and each file's own frame rate, wherever the output has a place for them; an Avid AAF brings its transitions, markers, clip levels with their keyframes, muted tracks, nested stacks and each clip's own rate. Captions and transcripts, read and written: SRT, WebVTT, SBV, ASS, TTML, DFXP, iTT, SCC, MCC (a second 608 channel comes out as its own file), EBU-STL, Avid caption TXT, CapCut drafts of any size, timed CSV, Word, plain text, Whisper, WhisperX, AssemblyAI, Deepgram, Rev.ai and CapCut JSON, TwitchDownloader chat logs as a chat replay, Premiere transcript JSON and .prtranscript, Rev, Otter and Word-style transcripts, with italics, colour, placement and speakers kept where the output can hold them and measured word timing into Premiere. EDLs become event CSV reports. The capability table lists what every pair keeps.
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.
