What this tool does

Subtitles saved from the web, from YouTube or from online course platforms usually come as WebVTT, but video editors, TVs, VLC and Plex all read SRT. This converter numbers the cues the way SRT requires, writes the milliseconds after a comma, and drops what SRT has no place for: the WEBVTT header, NOTE comments, STYLE blocks, cue positions and voice or colour tags. <i>, <b> and <u> are kept, and karaoke timestamps inside the text are removed. Cues that end up empty are skipped, and if a TV or older player shows the file as one long line, choose CRLF line endings.

Formula

header, NOTE and STYLE removed ; dot before the milliseconds → comma ; cues numbered ; only <i>, <b> and <u> kept
