What does VTT to SRT do?
Convert WebVTT to numbered SRT cues for an editor that expects SubRip captions. Basic timing and text carry over; WebVTT-specific styling, comments, regions, and positioning may not. Keep the original VTT as your source copy.

Frequently asked questions
How does VTT differ from SRT?
WebVTT uses a WEBVTT header and period-based milliseconds, while SRT uses numbered cues and comma-based milliseconds.
Does the VTT file leave my browser?
No. Parsing and conversion happen locally in the current browser tab.
Are SRT cue numbers generated automatically?
Yes. Converted cues are numbered sequentially from the first caption to the last.
Can every VTT feature be stored in SRT?
No. SRT is simpler, so WebVTT regions, comments, styles, and some cue settings are not represented.
