FAQ

How do I convert SRT to TXT?

Open an SRT file or paste its contents. The converter extracts each subtitle cue, removes the timestamp and cue number, and creates a plain-text transcript you can copy or download.

Does it also convert VTT to text?

Yes. WebVTT files are detected from the WEBVTT header or .vtt filename and handled by the same private browser-side converter.

Are italic and bold tags kept?

No. Common subtitle markup such as <i>, <b>, and ASS-style formatting blocks is stripped so the TXT output stays readable.

Is my transcript uploaded?

No. The file is read and converted locally in your browser.

Need the captions on the video itself?

These utilities handle subtitle files. To generate captions from speech, style them, and burn them into an MP4, open the full editor; free 720p export, no signup to start.
