Subtitle Converter questions

What is the main difference between SRT and WebVTT?

They use related cue structures but different headers and time separators, and WebVTT supports additional browser-oriented features.

Will subtitle styling be preserved?

Basic cue text is retained, but advanced styling and positioning may be simplified during conversion.

Can I get a transcript without timecodes?

Yes. Choose plain text to keep the spoken lines while removing cue numbers and timing.
