🎬 Subtitle Extractor
Upload a video with an embedded subtitle track, list the streams, then export as SRT / ASS / VTT or plain TXT. Runs locally with self-hosted ffmpeg — no upload.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Why only embedded subs?
Hard-burnt subtitles need OCR (slow, weaker in-browser). This extracts the subtitle track already in the container — the common case.
Does it download anything?
ffmpeg core is self-hosted on this site; it runs locally, no internet, no upload.

About this tool
Subtitles make videos usable — for the quiet ones, the language learners, the guy on the train.
This pulls the subtitle track out of a video file so you can read, edit, or reuse it.
Use it for a lecture, a clip, anything where the words matter as much as the picture.
Local; the video never leaves your device.
Your file stays private. (We run anonymous analytics — privacy policy.)
Tip: .srt is the safe choice — every player reads it. That's it.
