About TXT to SRT Converter

You have plain text — a script, a poem, a list of lines — and you want it as SRT subtitles. The TXT to SRT Converter assigns timing to each line automatically.

Every non-empty line becomes a cue. Choose a fixed duration per cue, add a gap between cues, or pick a reading speed (characters per second) so longer lines linger appropriately. Cues are numbered in order and written as standard SubRip with the --> arrow. Blank lines are skipped so you never get empty subtitles.

Features

  • Line-to-cue: one subtitle per text line.
  • Flexible timing: fixed duration, gap, or reading speed.
  • Readable pacing: reading-speed mode avoids too-fast captions.
  • Auto-numbering: sequential cue indices.
  • Valid SRT: blank-line-separated output.
  • Private: runs in your browser.

How to Use

  1. Paste your text (sample preloaded).
  2. Set duration, gap and/or reading speed.
  3. Click Convert to SRT and copy or download.

Examples

Example 1 — Script draft. Time a script before recording.

Example 2 — Quote cards. Turn a list of quotes into subtitles.

Example 3 — Placeholder timing. Rough captions to refine later.

Benefits

  • Fast: instant timing from text.
  • Adjustable: pacing suits your content.
  • No empty cues: blanks ignored.
  • Editable: refine in any editor.
  • Private: nothing uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are timings created?
Each non-empty line becomes one cue. You can give every cue a fixed duration, add a gap between cues, or set a reading speed (characters per second) so longer lines stay on screen longer.
What if I set a reading speed?
The tool estimates each cue duration from its character count (with a minimum of one second plus a small buffer), which keeps captions readable.
Will blank lines be kept?
Blank lines are ignored so you do not get empty cues. Only lines with text become subtitles.
Can I edit the timing later?
Yes. The SRT output is fully editable, and you can fine-tune it in any subtitle editor after downloading.
When is this useful?
Drafting captions from a script, turning a poem or quote list into subtitles, or building placeholder timing before a real transcription.
