Frequently asked questions

How do I convert SRT to TXT?

Choose your .srt file (or paste its contents) above. The tool strips cue numbers and timestamps and gives you clean text you can download or copy. VTT files work too.

Does my file get uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device.

Can I keep the timestamps?

Yes. Toggle 'keep timestamps' and each line is prefixed with its start time, like [1:23], which is handy for notes and citations.

Where do I get an SRT file from a YouTube video?

Use our YouTube Subtitle Downloader: paste the video link, pick a caption track, and download the SRT. Then convert it here if you need plain text.
