ASS/SSA to SRT Converter

You received a beautifully styled .ass file — custom font, colored outline, lower-third placement — but the toolchain downstream only speaks .srt. A DVD authoring app, a legacy editor, a hard-sub encoder or a simple player will reject or mangle ASS. You need the plain version.

The ASS/SSA to SRT Converter flattens the styled file back to universal SRT. It reads the [Events] block, takes each Dialogue: line, remaps the centisecond timing to milliseconds, turns override tags like {\i1} back into <i>, converts \n line breaks into real lines, and renumbers the cues 1, 2, 3. The spoken text is untouched — only the styling wrapper is stripped.

• Events-aware parsing: reads only the [Events] Dialogue lines, ignores headers and style blocks.
• Timestamp remap: H:MM:SS.cc becomes HH:MM:SS,mmm automatically.
• Tag flattening: {\i1}/{\i0}, {\b1}/{\b0}, {\u1}/{\u0} revert to <i>/</i>, <b>/</b>, <u>/</u>.
• Comma-safe text: subtitles containing commas in the text field are kept intact.
• Multi-line restored: ASS line breaks become separate SRT lines.
• Auto renumber: clean sequential cue numbers added.
• Private: runs entirely in your browser, no uploads.

1. Paste your ASS/SSA content into the box (sample data is preloaded so you can test instantly).
2. Click Convert to SRT — the flattened SRT appears on the right.
3. Copy or download the .srt and use it in any SRT-only tool.

Example 1 — Legacy editor import. Your editor crashes on ASS, so you flatten to SRT and import the text without losing timing.

Example 2 — Hard-sub encoding. The encoder only burns in SRT; convert first, then bake the subtitles into the video.

Example 3 — Plain player. A set-top box plays SRT but not ASS; conversion makes the captions show.

• Universal output: SRT opens in virtually every subtitle tool.
• No manual unwrapping: override tags and timestamps handled for you.
• Text preserved: only styling is removed, wording stays exact.
• Fast: convert a full feature in one click.
• Private: subtitle text never leaves the browser.
