Online subtitle editor

SRT (SubRip Subtitle) is a common subtitle file format for displaying captions alongside video content. SRT files contain the timing information and text for each line, synchronizing the subtitles with the video playback.

Here’s how to open an SRT file and view its contents:

Video players with built-in support for SRT files. It can be a button or an option in the menu that allows you to select and open the SRT file.
Since SRT files are plain text files, you can open them using Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac).
Special SRT tools. There are dedicated SRT file creators and editors available that offer more features for working with SRT files. These tools allow you to create subtitle files, preview them alongside the video, adjust timing, and perform more advanced subtitle editing.

Our SRT maker allows you to edit subtitles text while seeing the result in the video, then save the edited SRT file separately.
