Privacy: how this tool handles your subtitles

When you use VTT to SRT, your browser reads your subtitles on your device and the tool's code does the work in this tab. PageYak's server only sends the page and its code. It never receives your subtitles, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.

How PageYak works explains this in more detail.

When you need SRT subtitles

  • Video editors such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and many phone apps that import SRT.
  • Media players and TVs that read SRT next to a video file.
  • Captions downloaded from web platforms in VTT that you want to edit or translate.

Questions

Why convert VTT to SRT?

Many desktop players, video editors and smart TVs read SRT but not WebVTT. Subtitles downloaded from websites are often VTT.

The subtitles are a little late. Can I fix that?

Yes. Type a minus number of seconds in Shift all times to show them earlier.

Can I convert SRT to VTT too?

Yes, with SRT to VTT.

What happens to VTT styling and positions?

SRT has no place for them, so the text and timing are kept and VTT-only settings are left out.

Is my file uploaded?

No. It is converted in your browser and stays on your device.
