How to convert SRT to TXT
- Add your .SRT file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .TXT in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TXT file.
What to expect
- All timecodes and sequence numbers are removed - keep the original
.srtif you ever need to restore timing. - Inline tags like
<i>and<b>may appear as raw characters in the TXT; Subtitle Edit's export strips them automatically. - If the output shows garbled characters, the source file may be in a legacy encoding - re-save it as UTF-8 before converting.
Frequently asked questions
Does renaming `.srt` to `.txt` give me a clean transcript?
No - renaming changes only the extension; all timecodes and sequence numbers stay in the file. Use the converter or Subtitle Edit to get plain dialogue.
Can I recover the timecodes from the TXT later?
No - once stripped, timing information is gone. Always keep the original
.srt if you might need it again.Will bold and italic formatting be preserved?
Not as real formatting. SRT stores it as raw tags like
<i>text</i>, which either appear as literal characters or get stripped entirely depending on the tool.What if my TXT shows garbled characters or question marks?
The SRT was probably saved in a legacy encoding. Open it in Notepad++ and re-save as UTF-8, then convert again.
