SRT translator
Upload an SRT file and get it back in another language. Only the subtitle text is translated; the numbers and timings are copied unchanged, so the file still syncs with your video.
Translation needs our server. Your text is sent to an AI provider to be translated, and we don't keep it.
Up to 100 KB and 1,500 subtitles. 3 free translations a day.
How to use it
- 1Choose your .srt file. It can be up to 100 KB.
- 2Pick the language to translate into and select Translate.
- 3Download the translated .srt file when it is ready.
Example: an SRT file translated from English to French
Only the text lines change. The subtitle numbers and both timestamps are copied from the original, so the file stays in sync with the video.
1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,200 Good coffee needs three things. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,500 Fresh beans, clean water and time.
1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,200 Un bon café demande trois choses. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,500 Des grains frais, de l'eau propre et du temps.
Timings cannot drift
The AI model only ever sees the subtitle text. Numbers and timestamps are kept on our side and put back around the translated text, and the result is checked against your original before you get it. If a line is missing or added, the translation is rejected instead of returned.
Review before you publish
AI translation is fast and usually good, but it can make mistakes with names, slang and jokes. Have a speaker of the language check important subtitles.
Your file and privacy
Unlike our converters, translation cannot run in your browser: the text is sent to our server and on to an AI provider. We do not store your file or its text.
Who it is for
Creators who want their videos understood in more countries, teachers sharing lectures with international students, and viewers who found subtitles in a language they do not read. Translate the SRT file, then load it in your player or upload it to your video platform as a new subtitle track.
Frequently asked questions
Which languages can I translate to?
English, Arabic, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. The source language is detected automatically.
Will the timings stay the same?
Yes. Subtitle numbers and timestamps are never sent to the AI and are copied from your original file. Italic and bold tags in the text are kept.
Is there a file size limit?
Files up to 100 KB and 1,500 subtitles are accepted, which is a typical TV episode or a short film. Split longer files first.
How many translations can I do for free?
Three per day without an account. The count resets at midnight UTC.
Do you keep my subtitles?
No. We do not save your file or its text. It is sent to an AI provider only to produce the translation.
How accurate is the translation?
It is machine translation, so it is good for understanding and for a first draft, but not guaranteed to be perfect. Review it before publishing.
