What is the difference between SRT and VTT?
SRT uses comma decimals in timestamps and has no header. VTT starts with a WEBVTT header, uses dots for decimals, and supports styling cues. Most modern web players require VTT.
Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
Does this handle large subtitle files?
Yes. Files up to several megabytes convert instantly. Anything beyond that may briefly freeze the textarea while parsing, then complete.
