How to convert TTML to SRT

  1. Add your TTML subtitles

    Drop TTML (DFXP) 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. SRT is already chosen

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

  3. Download

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

TTML to SRT: what to expect

TTML is verbose XML that many consumer players cannot read. SRT is accepted by practically every player, site and editor. TTML is at home in subtitles delivered to broadcasters and streaming services; SRT is the usual choice for subtitles that must work almost everywhere.

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. Times in clock, offset, frame and tick form are all understood, and a region's position is kept as the cue's position. Positioned lines are written with {\an} codes, which many players honour; players that do not simply show them at the bottom.

TTML vs SRT

TTML

TTML subtitles

TTML is the W3C's XML subtitle format. Streaming services and broadcasters deliver captions in TTML profiles such as IMSC. It can describe regions, styles and timing precisely, but it is verbose, and many consumer players do not read it. DFXP is an earlier profile of it.

Opens in Broadcast and streaming systems, Apple and Netflix workflows, and some video players

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.

Opens in VLC, YouTube, Plex, most players and video editors

Questions

Are my subtitles uploaded anywhere?

No. The TTML to SRT 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 TTML to SRT?

No further quality is lost: SRT stores the decoded audio exactly. The result is identical in content.

Can I convert several TTML 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 TTML to SRT 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 TTML file, press Convert and save the SRT. 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.
