How to convert CSV to SRT
Convert CSV to SRT online. CutConvert reads a spreadsheet of timed rows — start, end, speaker, text — and writes valid, numbered SRT subtitles. 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.
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 up to 3 files per batch at up to 1 MB each; a free account raises that to 5 files and 30 conversions a month.

Questions, answered
Where are my files processed?
Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection and converted on CutConvert’s servers, then handed straight back to you as a download. We never sell or share your media.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Small, everyday batches are free to convert. For large or high-volume jobs you’ll create an account and upgrade — which keeps the free tier fast for everyone.
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 simply get that one file — no unnecessary ZIP.
Which formats are supported?
You can convert EDL to CSV; SRT and VTT subtitles to each other and to plain text; SRT, TXT, and DOCX/DOC transcripts to Premiere Pro transcript JSON; SRT to Avid Media Composer caption TXT; and Premiere Pro .prtranscript exports to SRT, VTT, or text — with speaker labels preserved. 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.
