About this tool
Web players and most video platforms want WebVTT, while subtitle files you download or export are usually SRT. This converter rewrites the timestamps and structure, strips stray styling tags, and hands back a valid .vtt file with every cue at the same time.

Questions
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.
