FROM SUBTITLES TO TRANSCRIPTS
What Is a VTT File?
A VTT (Web Video Text Tracks) file stores timed text for video captions and subtitles. It uses the WebVTT format, which pairs each subtitle cue with a start and end time.
Converting VTT to TXT gives you the spoken words without timing information or styling—useful for reading, taking notes, or editing a transcript. This tool preserves cue order, repeated text, and line breaks within each cue.
Frequently asked questions
Are my subtitle files uploaded?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your file and converted text are never uploaded to a server.
What does the converter remove?
It removes the WEBVTT header, cue identifiers, timestamps, cue settings, NOTE, STYLE and REGION blocks, and subtitle formatting tags. It keeps the subtitle text and its line breaks.
Does it remove repeated subtitles?
No. Repeated text is preserved as it appears in your subtitle cues. Each cue is separated by a blank line in the output.
Can I convert subtitles in other languages?
Yes. UTF-8 files are supported, including accented characters and non-English scripts. The converter does not translate the text.
Why is my file not converting?
Choose a .vtt file with a WEBVTT header, valid start and end timestamps, and blank lines between subtitle blocks. SRT files and files with no readable subtitle text are not supported. The file size limit is 10 MB.
