SRT to Text Converter

Turn SRT or VTT subtitles into clean plain text in your browser

Remove subtitle timecodes

No signup. No upload. The file stays in this browser.

Accepted input: one local .srt or .vtt file, or pasted subtitle text.

Supported subtitle formats

This SRT to text converter reads one SRT or VTT source at a time. Paste subtitle text or open one local file, then get the cue text without sequence numbers or timecodes. The result remains editable and can be copied or downloaded as a TXT file.

This page does not transcribe audio, merge files, store projects, require a login, or send subtitle text to a server. It handles one local subtitle file at a time.

How conversion works

The browser finds each subtitle cue, removes its sequence number and start/end time, and keeps the spoken text and line breaks. Cue text is joined in reading order. Common VTT markup tags are removed from the plain-text result.

If the pasted content has no usable SRT or VTT cues, the page reports that it could not find subtitle text so you can correct the source.

FAQ

Can I convert SRT to text without uploading the file?

Yes. Paste the SRT text or open one local SRT file. Reading and conversion happen in this browser.

Does this also work as a VTT to text converter?

Yes. Paste or open a VTT file and choose Convert to plain text. WEBVTT headers, cue numbers, and timecodes are left out of the result.

Can I edit the plain text before downloading?

Yes. The result is editable. Make any changes, then copy the text or download it as a TXT file.

Can I convert several subtitle files at once?

No. This page intentionally handles one subtitle file at a time so the workflow stays local and easy to review.
