Frequently asked questions
Answers about privacy, limits, and how this free free srt to vtt converter works.
What is the difference between SRT and VTT?
SRT (SubRip) uses commas for milliseconds (00:00:01,000). WebVTT uses periods (00:00:01.000) and starts with a WEBVTT header. Many browsers and HTML5 players prefer VTT.
Is this SRT to VTT converter free?
Yes. Scribia’s converter is free to use in your browser with no signup, watermark, or upload to our servers.
Can I convert VTT back to SRT?
Yes. Choose VTT → SRT mode to convert WebVTT files back into SubRip format.
Can I extract plain text from subtitles?
Yes. Use Extract plain text mode to remove timestamps and cue numbers, leaving readable dialogue only.
Do you upload my subtitle file?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. We do not store, log, or transmit your subtitle content.
Need transcripts from the video itself?
This converter formats existing captions. Scribia can generate transcripts, summaries, quizzes, and notes from the video source.
