Frequently asked questions

What is an SBV file?

SBV is the caption format YouTube uses. Converting it to SRT gives you numbered subtitles in the standard format other players and editors accept.

Does the timing stay the same?

Yes — timings are transferred exactly, millisecond for millisecond, with no rounding or shifting. Only the formatting changes: hours are written with two digits and the decimal point becomes SRT's comma (so 0:01:23.450 becomes 00:01:23,450).

Is it free?

Yes — free, with no signup needed.
