{ } How to use

  1. Choose a video that carries subtitles inside the file.
  2. Select Process.
  3. Download the .srt, or copy the text.

{ } How it works

Extract Subtitles from Video works on the file you upload. Adjust the options, then select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.

Inputs

  • Video file — upload a file (video/*); it is read locally in your browser
  • Subtitle track number (0 = first) — a value (default: "0")

Output

SRT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.

{ } Common uses

  • Get a transcript out of a video that has captions built in.
  • Edit a typo in a caption and put the file back with Add Subtitles to Video.
  • Translate captions by starting from the original text rather than retyping it.

{ } Limitations

  • Only subtitles stored inside the video can be extracted. Most videos on the web carry captions as a separate file instead, and those cannot be recovered from the video.
  • Image-based subtitle formats (DVD and Blu-ray tracks) hold pictures of text, not text. They cannot be turned into SRT without character recognition.

{ } FAQ

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.

Can I process more than one file at once?

Yes — add several files and they’re all processed and downloaded together as a ZIP.

Is this tool free?

Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.

It says no subtitle track was found — why?

Because the file has none inside it. Captions on streaming sites and most players are a separate .srt or .vtt served alongside the video, which is why they can be turned off without touching the file. Check whether you already have that file.

What if there are several subtitle tracks?

Set the track number. Zero is the first, one the second, and so on — the metadata viewer will tell you how many the file has.
