About this tool
ASS and SSA subtitles carry fonts, colors, positions, and animation, which anime fansubs use heavily and which most players and platforms ignore or reject. Converting to SRT keeps the dialogue and timing in the simplest possible format; override tags and karaoke effects are removed.

Questions
Are signs and effects kept?
No. SRT has no styling, so positioned signs become plain lines of text at the same time.
Is the styling kept?
Formatting tags are removed so the text is clean; timing and line breaks are preserved exactly.
What is the difference between SRT and VTT?
SRT is the older, simplest format that media players expect. WebVTT is the web standard for the HTML video element and platforms like YouTube; the timing syntax differs slightly.
