SyncMySubsConvert VTT to SBV
Have captions in WebVTT .vtt and want them on YouTube? SBV is a caption format YouTube accepts, and this tool converts your VTT to a .sbv file ready to upload in YouTube Studio. It runs in your browser, and nothing is uploaded to us.
WebVTT captions onto YouTube
WebVTT (.vtt) is the format for captions on web video, and SBV is one of the caption formats YouTube reads for uploads. Converting lets you take captions built for your own site and add them to a YouTube video. Both formats store start and end times with the caption text, so timing is kept exactly. The one thing that doesn't carry over is styling: VTT positioning, cue settings, and inline tags are stripped, because SBV is plain text only. Load your own file to convert it; the tool never reaches out to YouTube.
FAQ
Why convert VTT to SBV?
If your captions are in WebVTT .vtt (common for web video) and you want them on YouTube, SBV is a caption format YouTube accepts. Converting gives you a .sbv file you can upload in YouTube Studio.
Does converting lose any styling?
SBV holds plain text only, so any VTT styling such as positioning, cue settings, or inline tags is dropped, since SBV has nowhere to keep it. The timing, text, and line breaks are preserved, so a plain VTT converts with no loss.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser with JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device and no server is involved. It only works on the file you choose.
