SRT to XML Converter

Convert SRT subtitles into a clean XML document. Each cue becomes a <cue> with index, start, end and (escaped) text.

Runs entirely in your browser — no data is uploaded or stored.

About SRT to XML Converter

You need subtitles as XML for a system that prefers markup. The SRT to XML Converter wraps each cue in a tidy <cue> element with index, start, end and text fields.

The caption text is XML-escaped so ampersands, angle brackets and quotes never break the document, and the original HH:MM:SS,mmm timing is preserved. The result is well-formed, schema-friendly XML you can validate, transform, or store. Paste your SRT and export.

Features

  • Structured cues: with index, start, end, text.
  • Escaped text: always well-formed XML.
  • Timing kept: HH:MM:SS,mmm preserved.
  • Well-formed: XML declaration included.
  • Pipeline-ready: XSLT/validation friendly.
  • Private: runs in your browser.

How to Use

  1. Paste your SRT (sample preloaded).
  2. Click Convert to XML and copy or download.
  3. Use the .xml in your pipeline or storage.

Examples

Example 1 — Enterprise import. A CMS expects XML captions.

Example 2 — Transformation. Apply XSLT to reshape cues.

Example 3 — Archival. Store well-formed caption data.

Benefits

  • Valid XML: escaped and declared.
  • Self-describing: labelled fields.
  • Lossless timing: timestamps kept.
  • Easy to parse: no custom grammar.
  • Private: nothing uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the XML look like?
A root <subtitles> element containing one <cue> per subtitle, each with <index>, <start>, <end> and <text>. Text is XML-escaped so it is always well-formed.
Why export subtitles to XML?
XML is easy to store, transform with XSLT, validate with a schema, or feed into enterprise and legacy systems that prefer markup over plain text.
Are special characters safe?
Yes. Ampersands, angle brackets and quotes in the caption text are escaped, so the document stays valid XML regardless of content.
Does it include timing?
The original HH:MM:SS,mmm timecodes are kept in <start> and <end> elements.
Is the output valid XML?
It is well-formed XML with a declaration and proper escaping, ready to parse.
