About this tool
Subtitles downloaded from the web are often WebVTT, but VLC, smart TVs, Plex, and editing software are happiest with SRT. The converter renumbers the cues, converts the timestamps, and drops WebVTT positioning and styling so the file loads anywhere.

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.
