Frequently asked questions

How do I open an SRT file?

An .srt file is plain text, and any text editor can open it, but it is hard to read raw. This viewer shows it as a clean transcript with timestamps, plus instant search. Choose the file above; it opens right in your browser.

Is my subtitle file uploaded to a server?

No. The viewer runs entirely in your browser and the file never leaves your device.

Can I search inside the subtitles?

Yes. Type in the search box and the view filters to matching lines instantly, with their timestamps.

Can I convert the file to plain text?

Yes, use the Export as .txt button, or use our dedicated SRT to TXT converter for timestamp options.

What program opens SRT files normally?

Video players like VLC load SRT files as subtitles next to a video. Text editors open them raw. This page is for reading and searching the content itself.
