How to convert SRT to TXT

  1. Paste your SRT subtitles into the SRT source box, or choose a .srt file (UTF-8, up to 5 MiB) — conversion runs automatically.
  2. Edit the source any time to re-convert, or press Convert to retry on demand.
  3. Review the TXT result — one cue of caption text per paragraph, in the original order.
  4. Download the .txt file, or copy the text into your document.

What changes between SRT and plain text

An SRT file interleaves cue numbers and timestamps with the caption text. A plain-text (.txt) transcript keeps only the caption text: cue numbers and timing lines are removed, styling tags are stripped, and each cue's text becomes its own paragraph in the original order.

Frequently asked questions

What does the TXT output contain?

Only the caption text, in cue order, one cue per paragraph. Cue numbers and timestamps are removed; line breaks inside a cue are kept.

Can I use the result as a transcript?

Yes — that is the main use. Speaker names or sound descriptions appear only if they were written into the caption text itself.

Are my subtitles uploaded anywhere?

No. Parsing and conversion run entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, stored, or logged.

What files can I load?

A UTF-8 text file up to 5 MiB. You can also paste subtitle text directly into the source box instead of choosing a file.
