SMALL TOOLS, CLEAR INTENTIONS

From almost done
to ready to share.

01 / CONVERT

A format that fits.

Use WebVTT for HTML video captions or SRT for your editing workflow. Start with an existing text-based subtitle file.

02 / SYNC

Right words. Right moment.

Subtitles showing up too early? Shift them later with a positive offset. A constant shift won’t fix gradually drifting timing.

03 / EXTRACT

Let the words breathe.

Turn captions into a readable transcript. Keep line breaks for a script, or join cues into a continuous paragraph.

A few helpful details.

Does my subtitle file leave my device?

No. Subtitle processing happens in a browser worker. This app has no subtitle upload endpoint or external fonts. The hosting service receives normal page requests, and the public site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for page visits and performance. See the privacy policy for details.

Which formats and features are supported?

UTF-8 SRT and WebVTT files up to 5 MB. Basic cue timing and text are supported. VTT headers, notes, styles, cue identifiers and positioning settings are not preserved in exports; detected metadata is reported. Basic bold, italic and underline tags are kept. VTT-only voice and word timing tags are removed when exporting SRT. Word timing tags are shifted together with cue timing when exporting VTT. Video files, transcription, translation and batch processing are outside this version.

What happens to overlapping or negative timestamps?

Overlapping cues are reported and preserved. A shift that would make any start time negative is rejected, with no cues deleted. Invalid timestamps and end times that precede start times must be corrected before export.

Convert WebVTT to SubRip

  1. Choose a UTF-8 .vtt file up to 5 MB, or paste text beginning with WEBVTT.
  2. Keep SubRip selected, then select Convert subtitles.
  3. Read the compatibility warnings and download the numbered .srt file.

What will the SRT contain?

The result contains a sequence number, a start and end timestamp, and subtitle text for each cue. Milliseconds use a comma instead of the full stop used by WebVTT. The WEBVTT header is removed.

Every story starts with a little curiosity.

Which WebVTT features are removed?

SRT cannot represent every VTT feature. CueFern does not export VTT styles, regions, positioning settings, metadata or cue identifiers. VTT-only voice, class, language and word timing tags are removed for SRT compatibility. Basic bold, italic and underline formatting remains. A warning identifies detected losses.

Do I need to upload my captions?

No subtitle upload is needed. Processing happens in your browser. The original file is unchanged. Check any styled, bilingual or overlapping captions in the editor or player where you intend to use the output.

For another format, try SRT to VTT. If you only need dialogue, use subtitle text extraction.

YOUR FILES STAY YOURS

Private by design.

This app processes subtitle text locally in your browser. The subtitle application does not send your files, file names or subtitle content to a server, or save your work in browser storage.

Closing or refreshing the page clears the workspace. Download your result before leaving. Cloudflare handles normal page requests and provides page-visit and performance analytics on the public site. We do not configure analytics to collect subtitle content or file names. Read the privacy policy for details.

This is an early tool for basic SRT and WebVTT cues. Advanced layout and metadata are not preserved. Always review your output in your target editor and keep the original file.
