Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. A free account downloads SRT files for videos up to 3 minutes long, with 30 minutes of subtitles a month and no card. Pro downloads SRT for videos up to 90 minutes.
Can I convert MP4 to SRT?
Yes. Drop the MP4 in the box above, check the text, then click Export and pick .srt.
How long can my video be?
Up to 90 minutes. You can turn any video that long into subtitles and edit them for free; downloading the SRT is free for videos up to 3 minutes.
Which video formats work?
MP4, MOV and WebM videos (MKV in Chrome or Edge), and audio files such as MP3, WAV and M4A.
Can I edit the subtitles before downloading?
Yes. Fix any word, merge or split lines, then download the SRT.
Can I get VTT or TXT instead?
Yes. The same export gives you SRT, VTT for web players, or a plain-text TXT transcript.
Can I translate the SRT?
Yes. Translate your subtitles into 100+ languages for free, then download the translated SRT.
Can it pull existing subtitles out of an MP4 or MKV?
No. It turns the speech in your video into new subtitles. It doesn’t read subtitle tracks already inside the file.
What’s the difference between an SRT file and burned-in captions?
An SRT is a separate file that viewers can switch on or off. Burned-in captions are drawn into the video itself. You can make both here.
Do I need an account?
Yes, and it’s free. Sign up with Google or your email in a few seconds, no card needed.
What’s the best video to SRT converter?
