The #1 Subtitle Converter Online

Do you need a TXT to SRT converter to make sure YouTube shows the subtitles of your latest how-to video? Or maybe your product demo video has a subtitle file in a less-common format, and you need a VTT file maker so they display correctly on more video players. Whether you need a caption converter for your brand’s marketing materials or your personal vlog, Kapwing was designed to make it easy. Make sure your videos are accessible to everyone — all in just a few clicks.

How to convert subtitles online

How to convert subtitles online
  1. Upload file

    Upload a video with subtitles to Kapwing, or just upload a subtitle file. To upload the subtitle file, go to “Subtitles” in the left-hand sidebar of the studio. Click “Upload SRT / VTT” and select the file from your computer. Note: You’ll need to link to or upload to a video in your studio to be able to access the Subtitles feature. But don’t worry, this doesn’t affect your conversion.

  2. Edit subtitles

    Now you’ll see the transcript. If you like, you can edit in several ways, including fixing the time sync and making any corrections. If you uploaded a video, you can also start editing, like changing the font, color, and positioning of your existing captions. You can also use Kapwing’s suite of 100+ editing tools to add all the final touches you need.

  3. Export and share

    To download a new subtitle file, select the download icon at the top right of the subtitle menu. You can download your subtitles as an SRT, VTT, or TXT file. If you edited or created a video to accompany your subtitles, click “Export Project” at the top right of your dashboard. You can then download an MP4 file or share the link to your finished project with your colleagues, friends, and family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

What is an SRT file?

SRT, short for SubRip Subtitle, is one of the most widely used subtitle file types online. Supported by a wide range of media players, video editing software, and streaming platforms, it’s popular because it’s relatively simple and can be easily created and edited using basic text editors. That’s why, as a video creator, it’s valuable for you to have a simple, fast, and intuitive SRT file converter in your back pocket for whenever you need it. That SRT converter is Kapwing.

How do I convert a file to SRT?

This answer depends on the type of file you want to convert. To convert SRT from a VTT file, you can use a simple SRT file converter like Kapwing. Just upload a video into Kapwing to access the “Subtitles” feature, upload your VTT file, make any edits you need, then download an SRT. You also have the ability to convert to a TXT if you like.

How do I convert an MP4 file to SRT?

To convert MP4 to SRT, you’ll first need to generate subtitles in an editor like Kapwing, then export them as an SRT file. Doing this is easy: just upload your video, navigate to the “Subtitles” feature, and click “Auto subtitles.” Kapwing’s AI-fueled subtitle generator will then create time stamped subtitles of your video. You can edit them as you see fit, then convert to SRT online.

Can MP4 files have embedded subtitles?

Yes, MP4 videos can have embedded subtitles. If you’re looking to embed subtitles into an MP4 video, you’ll need an editing tool like Kapwing. It’s easy to use. All you need to do is upload your video into the studio, select “Subtitles,” and use the “Auto subtitles” feature to automatically generate them.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a Youtube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!
