Turn a SubStation Alpha .ssa file into a plain SubRip .srt subtitle. Drop it below and it converts instantly in your browser.
SSA and SRT, briefly
SubStation Alpha (.ssa) is the older predecessor of Advanced SubStation Alpha (.ass). It stores subtitles in a script with a [V4 Styles] section and an [Events] list, carrying fonts, colours, and positioning that plain formats don't have.
This converter reads the dialogue events, keeps the timing and multi-line text, and writes a standard SubRip .srt. The SSA styling and positioning have no equivalent in SRT, so they're dropped; the spoken text and timing come across intact.
FAQ
What's the difference between SSA and ASS?
ASS (Advanced SubStation Alpha) is the newer version of SSA, with more styling features and a [V4+ Styles] section. SSA is the original, with [V4 Styles]. This tool reads both, but the page is aimed at .ssa files.
Is styling kept?
No. SRT is plain text, so SSA fonts, colours, and positioning are dropped. The dialogue and timing are preserved.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. It's converted in your browser and never leaves your device.
