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 VTT file

Copy the content of your .vtt subtitle file and paste it into the input area, or drag and drop the file directly. The tool detects the WebVTT format from the WEBVTT header automatically.

Step 2

Metadata is stripped automatically

The converter skips the WEBVTT header, NOTE/STYLE/REGION blocks, cue identifiers, and timestamp lines — extracting only the subtitle text from each cue.

Step 3

Review the plain text output

The output panel shows the full transcript as flowing plain text — readable, searchable, and ready to paste into any document or AI tool.

Step 4

Copy or download as TXT

Click Copy to paste the text anywhere, or click Download to save a .txt file. No account required and nothing is sent to any server.
