About the VTT to SRT Converter

Captions downloaded from YouTube, exported from a captioning tool, or pulled out of a streaming player arrive as WebVTT. VLC, Premiere, Resolve, Handbrake and most television hardware want SubRip, and handing them a .vtt gets you nothing on screen.

Paste the WebVTT and get a clean .srt. Cues are renumbered from one, timestamps are rewritten with a comma, and the WebVTT-only parts are dealt with honestly: NOTE comments and STYLE blocks are dropped because SubRip has no equivalent, positioning settings are removed and counted so you know they were there, and voice tags such as <v Speaker> are stripped while italic and bold can be kept. Cues can be shifted in time at the same time.
