Drop VTT (WebVTT) 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 TXT, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The VTT to TXT 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.
VTT is less widely accepted than SRT by desktop players and editors. Plain text opens on every device and is easy to search or paste elsewhere. VTT is at home in captions on web pages and in HTML video players; TXT is the usual choice for notes, logs and text that must be read by anything.
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. WebVTT comments, STYLE blocks and region definitions are skipped; the cues, their text and positions are kept. The result is a transcript with one cue per line, without times; a cue's own line breaks become spaces.
WebVTT 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.

VTT converterA 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.

No. The VTT to TXT 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 TXT allows; features that TXT 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 VTT file, press Convert and save the TXT. 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.
