TXT to SRT, what changes
TXT is plain text with no timing of its own.
SRT is the most common subtitle format: numbered lines with start and end times and plain text. YouTube, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and most players read it.
Plain text has no timing, so the tool adds it. If your lines start with timestamps (like a transcript copied from YouTube, "0:01 Hello"), each line starts at its timestamp. Otherwise each line gets a duration from its length at an average speaking pace of 160 words per minute, one after the other: a starting point to adjust in your editor.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Is anything lost converting TXT to SRT?
Nothing, but the timing is estimated unless your lines have timestamps.
Does it work with other languages?
Yes. Any language and script works, including right-to-left text.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It's processed in your browser, on your own device, and never leaves it.
