Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between SRT and VTT?
SRT is a simpler subtitle format without a header file, while VTT (WebVTT) requires a WEBVTT header, uses dots instead of commas in timestamps, and supports CSS styling and positioning cues.
Will special characters be preserved?
Yes. This is a pure text conversion — all characters, including Unicode and special symbols, are preserved exactly as they appear in the original SRT file.
Can I convert multiple SRT files at once?
Currently you can convert one file at a time. Paste each SRT file separately and convert them individually. For batch conversion, repeat the process for each file.
