WebVTT and SRT subtitles, explained

VTT to SRT FAQ

What's the difference between VTT and SRT?

The two formats are nearly identical, but many editors and tools only accept SRT. VTT also carries cue settings and inline tags that SRT doesn't use — this converter strips those so the output is clean, universally-compatible SRT.

What happens to the styling and positioning in my VTT file?

The VTT cue settings and inline tags are stripped, because SRT doesn't support them. The cue text and timestamps come through intact as standards-compliant SRT cues.

Can I convert SRT back to VTT?

Yes — use the SRT to VTT converter at /srt/vtt. It rewrites SRT cues into WebVTT with the header and millisecond timing web players expect.

Can I convert multiple VTT files at once?

Yes — drop up to several .vtt files and get one ZIP back. 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.
