SRT to Text FAQ

What gets removed when converting SRT to text?

The cue numbers and timecodes are stripped. What remains is just the spoken text, one line per cue, joined into a clean, readable transcript.

Why would I convert subtitles to plain text?

Sometimes you just need the words — a script, a transcript, or text to paste elsewhere. Converting turns timed SRT subtitles into a plain-text document instead of a subtitle file.

Can I keep the timecodes instead?

This converter is specifically for stripping them. If you need timed output in another format, the SRT to VTT converter at /srt/vtt keeps every cue and its timing intact.

Can I convert a batch of SRT files?

Yes — batch in, one ZIP out. It is 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, and paid plans support 20 MB files and larger batches.

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.
