Turn subtitles into plain text
An .srt file is great for video players, but useless when you just want the words. This tool removes the cue numbers and the timestamp lines (like 00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:04,000) and leaves you with clean, readable text you can paste into a doc, blog post, or email.
Everything runs in your browser
Your subtitle file never leaves your device. The conversion happens locally in JavaScript — there's no upload, no account, and no waiting on a server. That makes it instant and private, even for client work.
Common uses
- Repurpose a captioned video's script into a blog post or newsletter
- Get a clean transcript to quote or translate
- Feed plain text into a summarizer or AI tool
- Proofread a script without the timecodes in the way
FAQ
Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole conversion runs locally in your browser. The file is never sent to a server.
Does it work with .vtt files too?
Yes — it parses both SRT and WebVTT timestamps. If you want to keep timecodes and just change format, use the VTT to SRT tool instead.
What if I only have the video, not a subtitle file?
Use the MP3 to Text tool to transcribe the audio first, then export. ReelTranscript can also caption TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook videos from a link.
