What is a VTT file

About Web Video Text Tracks Format (WebVTT)

WebVTT is the W3C standard for displaying timed text tracks (subtitles or captions) in web browsers. Specifically, within the <video> tag.
Most of its features are supported by all the major browsers, by using the <track> HTML tag.

One of the main advantages of WebVTT is its support for styling:
Text can be styled either by using formatting tags such as <b>, <i>, and <u>. Or by using CSS identifiers inside the WebVTT file.
WebVTT also supports karaoke-like effects and cue positioning.

How To Open a VTT File

WebVTT is a text based format, and was based on the SubRip (.srt) format - initially called WebSRT and was later renamed to WebVTT.
Since VTT files are plain text files, you can view, edit and open VTT files with any text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit).

Note that WebVTT files must be encoded using UTF-8, so if you edit it, make sure your text editor is configured to use UTF-8.

How To Manually Convert .vtt to .srt

A step by step guide to convert .vtt to .srt by yourself

  1. Open your .vtt subtitle file

    Locate your .vtt file and open it using your favorite text editor.

  2. Remove all text at the top

    Your .vtt file starts with WebVTT and there may be extra text or comments (which start with NOTE) below the start line.

    Delete all text, from and including the first "WebVTT" line and until (not including) the first timecode line.
    A timecode line looks like this: 00:05.000 --> 00:09.000

  3. Sequence numbering

    Some .vtt files already have sequence numbers: there's a number, in a separate line, before every timecode line.

    If this is not the case with your .vtt file, you should add a number (starting with 1), in a separate line, before every timecode line.

  4. Change timecode format

    .vtt and .srt have different formats for the cue's timecode.
    While .vtt uses dot 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.000, .srt uses a comma instead: 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000.

    Find and replace all dots with commas in your .vtt file.

  5. Save as .srt

    That's it! Now save your file with an .srt extension (usually with File -> Save As...)

*The steps above do not transform any formatting or styling
