How to Convert SRT to VTT Subtitles (For HTML5 Video)

HTML5 video only supports WebVTT subtitles. SRT won't work in browsers. Converting takes 2 seconds. Upload to MegaConvert.io and select VTT — done in seconds, free.

The Problem

You have subtitles in SRT format (the standard for media players) but need them for a web video player. HTML5's element only accepts WebVTT (.vtt). Manually editing the file is tedious and error-prone.

Why Convert?

• HTML5 video — browsers only support VTT via the element.
• Web players — Video.js, Plyr, and modern players use VTT.
• Styling — VTT supports CSS styling, positioning, and karaoke effects.

How to Convert Online

1. Go to megaconvert.io/srt-to-vtt.
2. Drag and drop your .srt file.
3. Download your .vtt.

No account. No watermarks. Files auto-delete after 1 hour.
