Frequently Asked Questions
What are Netflix subtitle requirements?
Netflix prefers SRT format with specific guidelines: max 42 characters per line, max 2 lines per subtitle, minimum 1 second duration, and no more than 17 characters per second reading speed. Use the "Line Check" feature on this page to validate your subtitles against these requirements.
How do I convert ASS subtitles for YouTube?
YouTube doesn't support ASS format natively. Use this converter to convert ASS to SRT or VTT. Note that advanced ASS styling (custom fonts, colors, positions) will be lost during conversion – only the plain text and timing will be preserved.
What does "Auto wrap to max line length" do?
When enabled, the converter automatically breaks long lines at word boundaries to fit within your specified maximum line length. This helps create cleaner subtitles that are easier to read and meet platform requirements. The default is 42 characters, which is the Netflix standard.
Is my data secure? Do you store my subtitles?
100% private. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your subtitle files are never uploaded to any server. We don't store, log, or have any access to your content. You can even use this tool offline once the page loads.
Need to sync timing or extract subtitles?
This tool converts between formats but doesn't change timing or extract subtitles from video. For timing adjustments, use Subtitle Sync . To extract embedded subtitles from videos, use Subtitle Extractor . If you need video compression or format conversion, check out Medrea.
