SBV to SRT converter (YouTube captions)

YouTube Studio downloads captions as .sbv. Turn them into SRT, which almost every player and editor reads.

Accepts

YouTube subtitles (SBV) (.sbv). Other file types are not converted on this page; the File Converter hub takes every kind it knows.

How to convert

  1. Each caption keeps its start, end and text; the times are written the SRT way and the captions are numbered from 1.
  2. Shift the timing by a number of seconds (negative for earlier) when the captions run ahead or behind.

Your files stay on this device. Nothing is uploaded: the conversion runs in your browser, and the file is never sent to PartPriced Tools or to any other server.

Questions

And then to VTT?

Yes. An SBV file gets VTT under More formats in its Convert to menu, through SRT.

Can I type or paste instead of a file?

Yes. Type or paste in the box under the converter, and the preview updates as you type.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, on this device. Your files are not sent to PartPriced Tools or to any other server.
