Drop SMI (SAMI) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the CSV, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The SMI to CSV converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your subtitles are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
SMI is HTML-like and many players outside Windows and Korea do not read it. CSV is plain text that every spreadsheet, database and script can read. SMI is at home in subtitles for Korean-market players and multilingual files; CSV is the usual choice for moving tabular data between systems.
The text is read as UTF-8 or UTF-16, whichever the file is. An older file in another code page is read using the charset it declares, or as Windows-1252 if it declares none, so accented letters in an unlabelled legacy file can come out wrong. A file that is not text, such as the picture-based subtitles of a DVD, is refused instead of being converted to nonsense. A SAMI file can hold several languages; only the first one found is read. The result has the columns index, start, end and text, with times as HH:MM:SS.mmm, and starts with a byte-order mark so Excel reads accented letters correctly.
SAMI is an HTML-like subtitle format from Microsoft, with each cue a SYNC tag holding the start time in milliseconds. It can hold several languages in one file, selected by style class. It is most common in South Korea.

SMI converterCSV is a table written as text: one row per line, values separated by commas. Every spreadsheet and database can import and export it, but it holds one sheet only and no formatting, formulas or data types.

No. The SMI to CSV conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
The content is carried over as faithfully as CSV allows; features that CSV does not have are left out.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the SMI file, press Convert and save the CSV. There is nothing to install.
Yes, but a subtitle file is small. Files up to 50 MB are accepted, far more than any real subtitle file. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
