Frequently asked questions
Is converting SRT to VTT really free?
Yes. SRT to VTT conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
Are my SRT files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the SRT file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
Will the VTT file open everywhere?
VTT is a newer format. Current browsers and phones handle it, but older desktop software may not — keep the original SRT if you have to send it to someone on an old machine.
Does the VTT file get bigger than the SRT?
It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.
Is there a file size limit for SRT to VTT conversion?
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
