How to

How to convert ASS to SRT

  1. Drop your .ass files

    Drop files or a whole folder onto the converter. Each file is checked and listed with its encoding and cue count.

  2. Keep SRT selected

    SRT is preselected on this page. Set a time offset or strip tags under Options if you need to.

  3. Save the result

    One file is saved as .srt; several come as one zip with your folder structure kept.

Details

What changes in the conversion

  • Dialogue lines are converted; Comment lines and vector drawings are left out.
  • {\i1}, {\b1} and {\u1} become <i>, <b> and <u>; other override codes (positions, colours, fades, karaoke) are removed.
  • \N line breaks become real line breaks, and \h becomes a non-breaking space.
  • Events are sorted by start time and overlapping lines are kept, so signs and dialogue at the same moment both appear.

FAQ

Questions

Are styles from the [V4+ Styles] section applied?

Partly. SRT has no styles, so italic and bold set by a style are written as <i> and <b> on that style's lines, together with any inline overrides. Fonts, sizes, colours and positions from styles are not carried over.

Does it read files with a custom Format line?

Yes. The [Events] Format line decides which field is the start, end and text, and commas inside the dialogue text are kept.
