SRT and SSA, briefly

SubStation Alpha (.ssa) is a styled subtitle format, the predecessor of .ass, used by some players and editors that expect a script with a [V4 Styles] section rather than a plain list of cues.

This converter takes each SubRip cue and writes it into a valid SSA file with a sensible default style, keeping the timing and line breaks. You can then restyle it in a subtitle editor if you want fonts, colours, or positioning.

FAQ

Will the SSA have styling?

It's created with one clean default style (Arial, white) so the file is valid and plays. SRT carries no styling to bring over, so anything fancy you'd add afterwards in a subtitle editor.

Should I use SSA or ASS?

ASS is the newer, more capable format and is usually the better choice today. Use SSA when a specific player or tool asks for the older .ssa format.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser and your file never leaves your device.
