WebVTT and SRT subtitles, explained

WebVTT and SRT are nearly identical, but many editors and tools only accept SRT. This converter bridges the two. Italics, bold, underline and colour tags carry over, a voice tag becomes a speaker prefix, and the VTT-only cue settings are dropped.

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 that SRT doesn't use. This converter keeps the inline styling (italics, bold, underline, colour) and turns a voice tag into a speaker prefix, drops the settings, so the output is clean SRT that opens anywhere.

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

The VTT cue settings (position, size, alignment) are dropped, because SRT has no place for them. Italics, bold, underline and colour tags are kept as SRT tags, a <v> voice tag becomes a speaker prefix, and 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 several .vtt files and get one ZIP back. 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.

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.
