Common questions
How do I split an SRT file in two?
Add the file, enter the time of the cut in Split at, and click Split file. You get two files: the subtitles before the time and the subtitles from the time on.
What happens to a subtitle that is on screen at the split time?
It stays in the part where it starts. Its times do not change, so it can end after the split time.
Should the second part start at 00:00:00?
Yes, when the second part goes with a video file that starts at zero. Clear the tick box if you want to keep the times of the original file.
Can I split an SRT file into three or more parts?
Split one time, then add the part that you want to cut again. Repeat until you have all the parts.
Can I split a VTT file too?
Yes. You get two VTT files. Both keep the header and the styles of the original file.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The tool runs in your browser. Your subtitle file never leaves your computer.
