How to Convert Subtitle Files

Four steps to convert any subtitle or transcript format — no software, no upload, no account.

Step 1

Paste or drop your ASS/SSA file

Copy the content of your .ass or .ssa file and paste it into the input area, or drag and drop the file directly onto the input panel.

Step 2

Conversion happens automatically

The tool locates the [Events] section, reads the Format line to map columns, parses every Dialogue line, strips override tags and karaoke codes, and converts each centisecond timestamp to SRT's comma-separated millisecond format.

Step 3

Optionally adjust timestamps

Use the offset field to shift all cues forward or backward by a fixed number of seconds — useful if your subtitles drift out of sync after conversion.

Step 4

Download the SRT file

Click Download to save the converted .srt file, or copy the output to your clipboard. The result is plain, styling-free text and timing that works in any SRT-compatible player or editor.

Why Use This Converter

  • Convert ASS/SSA to SRT in one click — no software like Aegisub required
  • Parses the [Events] section using the file's own Format line, not a fixed column order
  • Strips override tags ({\an8}, {\i1}), karaoke codes, and \N line breaks automatically
  • 100% client-side — your ASS/SSA files are never uploaded
  • Output is a clean, valid SRT file with no leftover styling markup
  • No file size limits, no watermarks, no account required

Frequently Asked Questions

Paste your .ass or .ssa file content into the input area above (or drag and drop the file). The tool auto-detects the ASS/SSA format from the [Script Info] and [Events] sections and converts it to SRT instantly. Click Download to save the .srt file.

SRT is a plain-text format with no styling support, so everything defined in the ASS [V4+ Styles] section is dropped: fonts, colors, bold/italic per style, outline and shadow, and screen positioning ({\pos}, {\an}) tags. Karaoke timing codes ({\k}) and other inline override tags are also stripped, leaving only the spoken text and its start/end timestamps. If you need to preserve fansub-style styling, keep the original ASS file alongside the SRT export.

ASS/SSA is common for fansubs and stylized captions created in tools like Aegisub, but many video platforms, older players, and broadcast systems only accept plain SRT. Converting to SRT trades the advanced styling for maximum compatibility.

Yes. Every Dialogue line in the [Events] section is converted regardless of which Style it references — the Style name itself has no SRT equivalent and is discarded, but the text and timing from every line are preserved in cue order.

Yes, completely free. There is no account, no sign-up, and no usage limit.

No. All conversion happens in your browser. Your ASS/SSA files are never sent to any server, never stored, and never leave your device.
