How to convert SRT to VTT
- Open or paste your
.srt. - Keep VTT selected as output.
- Click Download VTT and add it to your player.
Using the VTT file on a web page
<video controls src="movie.mp4">
<track kind="subtitles" src="movie.vtt" srclang="en" label="English" default>
</video>Browsers only load VTT, not SRT, through the <track> element, and the file must be served as UTF-8 — which this converter always writes.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my browser ignore the SRT file?
The HTML <track> element supports WebVTT only. Convert the SRT to VTT and point the track at the new file.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Text, subtitle files and videos are processed by your browser on your own computer. Nothing is sent to a server.
Accented or Cyrillic letters look garbled. How do I fix it?
The file uses an old encoding. Pick the right one in the Encoding menu under the input (for example Windows-1251 for Russian, Windows-1250 for Central European, Windows-1252 for Western languages). The output is always saved as UTF-8.
