SRT file and WebVTT, explained
SRT is the most common subtitle format, but HTML5 video (the <track> element) and many web players require WebVTT. WebVTT is text-based and nearly identical to SRT. It adds a WEBVTT header and uses a dot instead of a comma in timestamps.

SRT to VTT FAQ
What's the difference between SRT and VTT?
They are nearly identical text formats. WebVTT adds a WEBVTT header at the top of the file and uses a dot instead of a comma in timestamps. Small differences, but HTML5 <track> elements and many web players require the VTT version.
Will my line breaks and cue text be preserved?
Yes. CutConvert rewrites every cue with the header, timestamps, line breaks, and text all preserved, producing a standards-compliant WebVTT file with millisecond timing.
Can I convert VTT back to SRT?
Yes. Use the VTT to SRT converter at /vtt/srt. It reads your WebVTT cues and rewrites them as standard SRT.
Can I convert several SRT files at once?
Yes, batch in, one ZIP out. 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, and paid plans start at $9/month for 100 conversions with 50 MB 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 ($39 a year) for every file type up to 50 MB; Studio is $19 a month ($79 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.
