CSV to SRT Converter

Sheets from other sources

Any sheet with a start, an end, and a line of text works, which makes this a quick way to turn a transcription service's export, a script with timings, or a list of on-screen captions into subtitles. Rows do not need to be in order: cues are sorted by start time and numbered from 1, and rows that share a start keep their sheet order. Overlapping rows are kept as they are and players stack them, so check that each end comes before the next start. If the sheet came from Excel, save it as CSV UTF-8 so accented letters come through correctly.

Checking the result

Load the SRT with the video and watch a few minutes at the start, the middle, and the end. A steady offset means the times in the sheet were measured from a different starting point, which the timing shifter corrects in one step. For a translated sheet, also run the file through the reading speed checker, since new text rarely fits the original timings exactly.

How to use it

1. Choose a CSV or TSV file, or paste the cells.
2. Check how the columns were read.
3. Download the .srt file.

Privacy & limitations

The file is read and rewritten in your browser and never uploaded. A filled translation column replaces the text, which is how a translated sheet becomes a translated subtitle file.
