About SRT Duration Adjuster

Captions are too quick to read, or they linger too long. The SRT Duration Adjuster resizes every cue.

Scale multiplies each duration by a factor — 0.8 to shorten, 1.2 to lengthen. Add shifts each end by a fixed number of milliseconds. You can also enforce a minimum and maximum duration so nothing is unreadable or endless. Only the end time changes; the wording and start are preserved. Paste your SRT and tune the timing.

Features

  • Scale mode: factor-based resizing.
  • Add mode: fixed ms shift per cue.
  • Min/Max clamp: readable, consistent lengths.
  • Start preserved: only ends move.
  • Lossless text: wording unchanged.
  • Private: runs in your browser.

How to Use

  1. Paste your SRT (sample preloaded).
  2. Pick a mode and enter a factor, ms, or min/max.
  3. Click Adjust Duration and copy or download.

Examples

Example 1 — Too fast. Scale 1.25 to give readers more time.

Example 2 — Too slow. Scale 0.9 to tighten pacing.

Example 3 — Consistent. Min 1.5s, max 6s clamp.

Benefits

  • Readable: enforces minimum time.
  • Consistent: caps runaway cues.
  • Flexible: scale or add.
  • Lossless: text preserved.
  • Private: nothing uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

What adjustment modes are there?
Scale multiplies every cue duration by a factor (e.g. 1.2 for 20% longer), or Add shifts each end time by a fixed number of milliseconds. You can also enforce a minimum and maximum duration.
What does minimum duration do?
Any cue shorter than the minimum is extended so viewers have time to read it; the start stays fixed and the end moves later.
What does maximum duration do?
Any cue longer than the maximum is trimmed back so captions do not linger; very long cues may need splitting separately.
Does this change wording?
No. Only the end time (and therefore the duration) changes; the text is untouched.
Can I combine options?
Yes. For example scale by 1.1 and set a 6-second maximum to gently lengthen cues while capping them.
