SRT

SubRip Subtitle

SRT is the most widely supported subtitle format: numbered cues, a start and end timestamp, and the text. It carries no styling, which is precisely why every player, TV, phone and editing tool accepts it.

Extension: .srt
MIME type: application/x-subrip
Also called: SubRip

Opening a .srt file

If you landed here because something handed you a .srt file and nothing on your machine will open it, converting it to a format you already have a reader for is usually faster than installing new software. Every conversion above runs in this browser — the file is not uploaded, so it works on a locked-down work machine and on a file you are not allowed to send anywhere.
