Convert SRT to TSV

Turn a SubRip .srt file into a tab-separated .tsv table — one row per cue, with index, start, end and text columns. Tabs paste straight into a spreadsheet without any import dialog. It converts instantly in your browser.

Timestamps are written HH:MM:SS.mmm (a dot before the milliseconds, so they never clash with the comma delimiter), and a cue with more than one line is collapsed into a single cell with each break written as a literal \n. Nothing is uploaded — the file is built in your browser.

Why tab-separated?

TSV is the same idea as CSV — one row per cue, columns for index, start, end and text — but the columns are separated by tabs instead of commas. That matters for subtitles, whose text is full of commas: with a tab delimiter the caption text is never mistaken for a new column, so no field needs quoting and the table stays easy to read.

Tab-separated data also pastes directly into Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers: copy the file's contents, paste into cell A1, and the columns land in place with no import wizard. Timings are written HH:MM:SS.mmm and a multi-line cue is kept on one row with its break written as a literal \n.

When the editing or translation is done, the TSV to SRT tool rebuilds a subtitle file from the sheet, carrying every timing across unchanged.

FAQ

What's the difference between TSV and CSV here?

Only the delimiter. TSV separates columns with a tab, CSV with a comma. Because subtitle text so often contains commas, tabs keep the text column clean and unquoted — handy when you'll paste the data straight into a spreadsheet.

How are two-line subtitles handled?

A multi-line cue is collapsed onto one row, with each line break written as a literal \n. Converting back with the TSV to SRT tool restores the real line breaks.

Can I paste this straight into Google Sheets?

Yes. Tab-separated values paste into a spreadsheet with the columns already split — select the file's text, copy, and paste into the first cell.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device and the page works offline.

Can I batch convert multiple files at once?

Yes. Drop several .srt files together and they'll each be converted and returned in a single ZIP, all in your browser. It's the same conversion as single files, just in bulk.
