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.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the VTT, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The SRT to VTT 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.
HTML5 video and most web players read captions only as WebVTT, so an SRT from a subtitle site or a video editor has to be converted before it can go into a track element or a video platform's upload. The two formats are close relatives: WebVTT is SRT with a WEBVTT header and a full stop instead of a comma in the timestamps, and it adds positioning and styling that SRT lacks.
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. Of the styling, only italic, bold, underline and the position on screen (top, middle or bottom, left, centre or right) travel between formats; fonts, colours, outlines and effects do not. Top and middle positions and left or right alignment are written as WebVTT cue settings.
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.

SRT converterWebVTT is the caption format of HTML5 video. It looks like SRT with a WEBVTT header and a full stop in the timestamps, but also supports positioning, styling with CSS, chapters and metadata. Browsers display it natively.

Both hold timed text. SRT numbers each cue and writes times such as 00:01:02,500; WebVTT starts with the word WEBVTT, uses a full stop in the times and can also carry positioning, CSS styling and chapters. Browsers display VTT natively and do not display SRT.
No. The SRT to VTT conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
No further quality is lost: VTT stores the decoded audio exactly. The result is identical in content.
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 SRT file, press Convert and save the VTT. 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.
