Convert MicroDVD (.sub) subtitles to SRT online. MicroDVD is a frame-based format where timing is written as frame numbers like {0}{120} instead of timestamps. Because the meaning of those numbers depends on the video frame rate, correct conversion needs the right FPS. This tool reads FPS hints in the file, or defaults to 23.976, and produces accurately timed SRT.
In a MicroDVD file, each line starts with two frame numbers in braces, like {7207}{7262}. The first is the start frame, the second is the end frame. To convert those to real time, you divide by the video frame rate: 120 frames at 23.976 FPS equals roughly 5 seconds. This is why getting the FPS right is essential. The tool looks for an FPS hint (for example FPS=23.976) inside the file and uses it automatically, falling back to 23.976 when none is present.
MicroDVD .sub files are common with older rips and some subtitle download sites. Most modern players, TVs and media servers have limited or no MicroDVD support. Converting to SRT removes the guesswork and gives you a file that works everywhere with correct timing.
If the assumed frame rate does not match your video, the converted SRT timings will drift. The tool auto-detects the FPS hint where present. If your video uses a non-standard frame rate, check the FPS in the file or your video specs, and use a subtitle shifter tool afterward to fine-tune the offset if needed.
MicroDVD .sub is a text format using frame numbers. VobSub .sub is a binary image format paired with an .idx file. This tool converts MicroDVD text files. VobSub requires OCR extraction, which is a separate tool.
MicroDVD uses frame numbers, so conversion depends on the video frame rate. The tool auto-detects FPS hints and defaults to 23.976. If your video uses a different frame rate, the timings will drift; adjust the FPS or use a subtitle shifter.
No. VobSub is a binary image format that requires OCR. Use a dedicated SUB/IDX converter for those. This tool handles text-based MicroDVD .sub files.
Yes. Select multiple .sub files or upload a ZIP archive and the tool converts them all to SRT.
No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Convert SUB (MicroDVD) subtitles to SRT when a player or media library needs a simpler, broadly supported text format.
Supported input or output formats for this workflow are .sub input and SRT output. The exact controls on the page determine which options apply.

MicroDVD SUB uses frame numbers, so the assumed or detected FPS controls the resulting timestamps.
VobSub SUB/IDX is a different image-based format and needs the dedicated OCR route instead of this text converter.

No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Open this tool, select the relevant file, choose the available SUB to SRT converter options, and download the generated result. The page keeps the workflow in the browser rather than requiring an installed editor.
Use the formats listed in the tool description and picker. .sub input and SRT output Formats outside that list may be rejected or need conversion first.
The tool is built for browser-side processing. Your file is selected by the browser and the result is downloaded locally rather than being described as a server upload.
No. Subtitle tools create or modify subtitle output only. The video itself is not edited, re-encoded, or downloaded by this workflow.
Open the downloaded file with a text editor or your video player. Confirm that cues are present, timestamps make sense, and the filename matches the video when automatic loading is useful.
Before archiving the SRT, play it against the first and last ten minutes of your video. If every cue is off by the same amount, or the gap widens over time, send the file through our subtitle sync tool to fix the offset or rescale the timeline — conversion preserves timestamps, so any mismatch was already in the source or comes from a frame-rate assumption.
To understand what the conversion kept and dropped, compare the formats in SRT vs VTT vs ASS subtitle formats, then follow how to add subtitles to a video for loading the SRT in your player of choice. Missing a track for a particular film? Browse movie subtitles to find it, or convert the result to plain text when you need a quotable transcript instead of timed cues.
