Convert ASS and SSA subtitles to SRT
Drop an .ass or .ssa file and get a clean .srt that plays almost everywhere: timings converted, line breaks kept, styling codes removed, with italic, bold and underline kept if you want them.
SRT has no styles, positions or karaoke effects, so fonts, colors and placement from the ASS file are dropped.
To convert ASS to SRT, drop the .ass or .ssa file here or paste it. The tool reads the [Events] section's Format line to find each Dialogue line's start, end and text, converts times like 0:00:04.20 to 00:00:04,200, turns \N into line breaks, removes override codes such as {\an8} or {\fad(200,200)}, keeps {\i1}italic{\i0} as <i>italic</i> if you choose, and skips Comment lines and vector drawings. SRT has no styles or positions, so fonts, colors and placement are dropped.
