## Frequently asked questions

- **What's the difference between SRT and VTT?**
  
  SRT is the older, plain-text subtitle format. WebVTT (VTT) is the W3C standard used by HTML5 <track>, supports styling, positioning, and metadata, and is required for most modern video players.
- **Does this convert the file in my browser?**
  
  Yes. We never upload your subtitle file. Conversion happens client-side via JavaScript so it works offline once the page loads.
- **Will styling and formatting be preserved?**
  
  Bold, italic, and underline tags carry over. Custom colors and positioning hints are preserved when the source SRT contains them.
- **Can I convert VTT back to SRT?**
  
  Yes — toggle the direction switch at the top of the tool. Round-trip conversion is lossless for plain captions.
- **What encoding does the output use?**
  
  UTF-8 with BOM, which works in every modern player and platform including YouTube, Vimeo, and JW Player.
- **Do you support multi-track files?**
  
  SRT is single-track by design; we output one VTT per upload. Use a separate workflow for SAMI or TTML.
- **How big a file can I convert?**
  
  There is no enforced cap, but for files over 5 MB conversion runs in a Web Worker so the UI stays responsive.
- **Are timestamps adjusted?**
  
  SRT uses comma decimals (00:00:01,500) and VTT uses dot decimals (00:00:01.500). We rewrite the separators automatically.
- **Can I batch-convert several files?**
  
  Yes. Drop multiple SRT files and we will return a zip of converted VTT files.
