A few useful answers

Frequently asked questions

Will my text be rewritten?

No. This tool does not summarize or rewrite your subtitles. It removes structural timestamps and cue identifiers, with optional removal of subtitle styling.

Does it support WebVTT?

Yes. Upload an SRT or VTT file. WebVTT headers, notes, style blocks and cue identifiers are excluded from the transcript.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs in your browser. Your file contents are not uploaded or stored by SRT Pilot. The website itself is delivered over the internet.

What files can I use?

Text to SRT accepts plain text, TXT and Markdown files up to 5 MB. SRT to TXT accepts SRT and WebVTT files up to 25 MB. Both support UTF-8 and UTF-16 with a byte-order mark, with a maximum of 50,000 cues.
