How to convert SRT to TXT

  1. Drop your .srt file into the converter above, or click to browse. Several files at once become a ZIP.
  2. Check the quality report and fix timing or text in the editor if you need to.
  3. TXT is already selected as the output format. Click Download converted file.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and there is no file count limit.

About SubRip (.srt)

SRT files are plain text: a sequence number, a start and end time written as HH:MM:SS,mmm, and one or more lines of caption text. Almost every video player, editing suite, and social platform accepts SRT, which makes it the safest interchange format when you are not sure what a tool supports.

About Plain text (.txt)

A plain-text transcript is what you want for blog posts, show notes, accessibility documents, or feeding text into a search index or language model. CaptionStack strips all timing and writes each cue as its own paragraph. Importing a .txt file assigns three-second cues so you can add real timing in the editor.

What changes when converting SRT to TXT

Exporting to TXT intentionally drops timing and identifiers. Importing TXT creates evenly spaced three-second cues.

Frequently asked questions

Is this SRT to TXT converter free?
Yes. CaptionStack is free and open source, with no limits on file count or conversions.
Are my caption files uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing and conversion run in your browser using a local Web Worker. Your files never leave your device.
Can I edit the captions before exporting to TXT?
Yes. After import, open the editor to adjust start and end times, fix text, split, merge, or reorder cues. The quality report flags overlaps, short cues, and fast reading speeds with one-click fixes.
