How to Convert VTT to SRT Online – Step-by-Step Guide

VTT (WebVTT) is great for web players, but many video editors and apps work best with SRT (SubRip). This guide shows you how to convert VTT to SRT free online in under a minute.

Why convert VTT to SRT?

SRT (SubRip) is the most widely supported subtitle format. Use SRT when you need:

  • Compatibility with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and other NLEs
  • Older media players or devices that don’t support VTT
  • Simple, portable subtitle files that open in any text editor
  • Maximum compatibility with streaming and encoding tools

Converting VTT to SRT keeps your timestamps and text; only the format changes. No signup required.

Open the VTT to SRT converter

Go to our free VTT to SRT tool. You can use the main converter and choose SRT as the target, or open the dedicated VTT to SRT page.

2

Upload your VTT file

Drag and drop your .vtt file or click to browse. The tool supports standard WebVTT (with or without WEBVTT header). Max 50MB.
