What is a Subtitle Editor?
A subtitle editor is a tool for creating and modifying subtitle files. This editor supports:
- SRT (SubRip) - Most common format
- VTT (WebVTT) - Web standard format
You can edit timing, text content, merge entries, split entries, and shift all timestamps. Perfect for syncing subtitles or fixing timing issues.
How do I use this tool?
Using the Subtitle Editor:
1. Load a subtitle file (SRT or VTT) or create a new one
2. Edit entries in the table:
- Modify start/end times
- Edit subtitle text
- Add or delete entries
3. Use toolbar actions:
- Shift Times: Move all timestamps
- Merge: Combine selected entries
- Split: Divide one entry into two
4. Export as SRT or VTT format
All changes are made in real-time in the table.
What is the difference between SRT and VTT?
SRT (SubRip Subtitle):
- Most widely supported format
- Simple text-based format
- Uses comma for milliseconds (00:00:00,000)
- Works with most video players
VTT (WebVTT):
- Web standard for HTML5 video
- Supports styling and positioning
- Uses period for milliseconds (00:00:00.000)
- Required for web video players
Both formats contain the same basic information: timing and text.
How do I sync subtitles?
To sync subtitles with video:
1. Find an entry that's out of sync
2. Note how many seconds off it is
3. Use 'Shift Times' to adjust:
- Positive value: Delays subtitles
- Negative value: Makes subtitles earlier
4. Apply to all or selected entries
For example, if subtitles appear 2 seconds too early, shift by +2 seconds.
Can I merge multiple subtitles?
Yes! To merge subtitle entries:
1. Select the entries you want to merge (use checkboxes)
2. Click 'Merge' in the toolbar
3. The entries will combine into one:
- Start time from first entry
- End time from last entry
- Text combined with line breaks
This is useful for combining short entries into longer ones.

Yes, completely safe:
- All processing happens in your browser
- No files are uploaded to any server
- Your subtitles never leave your device
- No data is stored or tracked
