SBV to SRT converter

SBV is the caption format of YouTube's caption editor. This turns an .sbv file into SRT, which far more editors and players accept. What you paste or upload stays in your browser.

Convert your SBV file

How to use it

  1. Paste the SBV text, or upload the .sbv file.
  2. Click Convert to SRT, then download subtitles.srt or copy the result.

What changes in the file

  • A timing line such as 0:00:01.000,0:00:04.000 becomes 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000. The times themselves don't change.
  • Cues are numbered from 1. SRT needs the numbers and SBV doesn't have them.
  • Cues are found by their timing lines, so a file without blank lines between cues still converts. Anything above the first timing line is ignored.
