Subtitles open your video up to a whole new audience — but only if they’re in a language your viewers read. Translating a subtitle file by hand is tedious and easy to get wrong. Instead you can translate an SRT or VTT in a few clicks, keeping every timestamp intact, free and online.
Upload an SRT or VTT file — the timings are read automatically.
Select the language you want to translate the captions into.
Each line is translated while the timestamps stay exactly the same.
Save the translated subtitle file in the same format.
Why the timings stay perfect
A subtitle file is really two things: timestamps and text. The tool parses the file, sends only the line text for translation, and rebuilds the file with the original timestamps untouched. That means your translated captions appear at exactly the right moments — no re-syncing needed.
SRT and VTT explained
- SRT is the most widely supported subtitle format, used almost everywhere.
- VTT (WebVTT) is the web standard, used by HTML5 video and many platforms.
- Both are plain text with timecodes, so they’re easy to translate and edit.
Tip: Don’t have a subtitle file yet? Generate one first with the Video to Text tool, then translate it here for an instant second-language version.
