How to convert SRT to TXT

  1. Add your SRT subtitles

    Drop SRT (SubRip) 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.

  2. TXT is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the TXT, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The SRT to TXT converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your subtitles are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

SRT to TXT: what to expect

A transcript is easier to read, search, translate or paste into a document without the numbers and timestamps. Subtitle files are one of the cheapest sources of a transcript, since the dialogue is already split into short readable lines in order.

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. The result is a transcript with one cue per line, without times; a cue's own line breaks become spaces.

SRT vs TXT

SRT

SubRip subtitles

SRT is the plain subtitle format nearly every player accepts: a number, a time range such as 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:04,000 and one or two lines of text. It has no official specification and only basic styling, which is why it travels so well.

TXT

Plain text

A TXT file is characters and nothing else: no fonts, no images, no layout. That makes it the most portable document there is, and the easiest to search, diff or feed into another program.

Questions

Are my subtitles uploaded anywhere?

No. The SRT to TXT conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting SRT to TXT?

The content is carried over as faithfully as TXT allows; features that TXT does not have are left out.

Can I convert several SRT files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert SRT to TXT on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

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 SRT file, press Convert and save the TXT. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

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.
