Change subtitle position

Move your subtitles to the top, the bottom, or any corner. Pick a spot on the grid and the tool rewrites the alignment for every line and leaves your timing and text alone. Nothing gets uploaded; it runs in your browser.

How subtitle positioning works per format

Advanced SubStation Alpha (.ass) was built for positioning. The nine cells map to its numpad alignment, where 7-8-9 sit along the top, 4-5-6 across the middle, and 1-2-3 along the bottom, and the choice is written to every style. WebVTT (.vtt) uses line, position, and align settings on each cue, which most players honor.

SRT has no way to store a position, and neither do MicroDVD or SubViewer .sub files, so those load as read-only here. Convert one to ASS or VTT first, then reposition. Whatever format you load, the download comes back in that same format with only the positioning changed.

FAQ

Which formats let me reposition subtitles?

Advanced SubStation Alpha (.ass) has full positioning and the change is written to the alignment of every style using the 1-9 numpad layout. WebVTT (.vtt) supports positioning through line, position, and align cue settings, which most players honor. SRT has no positioning support at all, and MicroDVD and SubViewer .sub files don't either, so convert those to ASS or VTT first.

Why are my subtitles at the bottom by default?

Bottom-center is the standard subtitle position, so most files use it. Move them to the top when they cover burned-in captions or on-screen text, or to a corner to keep an important part of the picture clear.

Does repositioning change the timing or text?

No. Only the position or alignment is written. Every timestamp, line break, and cue stays exactly as it was, and the file is saved back in its original format.
