About this converter
Strips the cue numbers and timecodes and leaves only the spoken text, one line per cue — useful for notes, search indexes and translation.
This strips the timecodes and cue numbers out of a subtitle file and leaves you with the words, in order, as a plain text document. It is the conversion you want when the subtitles were only ever a container for a transcript you need to read, search, quote, or paste somewhere else.
The output is clean running text with one line per cue. Nothing is reordered, summarised, or reworded — it is the same content with the timing scaffolding removed.

Frequently asked questions
- What exactly gets removed?
- The cue numbers, the start and end timecodes, and the blank separator lines. What remains is the subtitle text itself, in the order it appeared.
- Can I keep the timestamps if I want them?
- Then do not use this converter — a timestamped export is a separate option, and this one exists specifically to give you clean prose.
- Is the line order preserved?
- Yes. Cues are emitted in their original order, so the text reads the way the subtitles played.
- Will formatting like italics survive?
- Styling tags are stripped along with the rest of the markup, since plain text cannot carry them. If you need emphasis preserved, work from the ASS or VTT file instead.
- Does it handle large files?
- Yes. A feature-length subtitle file is small by text standards and converts instantly, all in your browser.
