Questions
Frequently asked questions
Are VTT positioning settings copied to SRT?
No. SRT does not support most WebVTT positioning settings, so the tool keeps timing and visible cue text.
Can it read VTT files with NOTE blocks?
Yes. NOTE, STYLE and REGION metadata blocks are ignored.
Does the converter work offline?
After the page loads, the conversion itself happens in your browser and does not upload the file.
