ASS to SRT Converter

The converter follows the active Events Format line instead of assuming one fixed field order. It preserves accepted Dialogue order, exact centisecond timing as integer milliseconds, Unicode text, commas, punctuation, and explicit ASS line breaks.

Both modern ASS and older SSA layouts use this same route. Comment events and non-Events sections are not treated as visible subtitles, and a later Events Format change is applied to the Dialogue lines that follow it.

SRT has no equivalent for ASS/SSA style definitions, fonts, colors, positioning, margins, layers, borders, shadows, clipping, transformations, animations, event effects, or embedded font and graphic sections.

Recognized override commands are removed while visible text remains. Compatibility counts are shown before conversion so the result is described as a dialogue-and-timing conversion rather than a visually lossless copy.

Karaoke commands lose their syllable timing, but readable syllable text stays in order. Vector drawing segments between valid drawing-mode boundaries are excluded instead of appearing as path commands in SRT.

ASS line-break escapes become SRT lines, non-breaking-space escapes become visible spaces, and literal backslashes are handled once. Unknown escapes or unrecognized brace commands remain readable and are reported instead of being deleted unpredictably.

UTF-8, UTF-8 BOM, UTF-16LE BOM, and UTF-16BE BOM input are detected automatically. Supported legacy encodings require an explicit selection, and the SRT download always uses UTF-8 without a BOM.

Missing Events data, unusable Format mappings, malformed Dialogue fields, invalid timing, ambiguous drawing boundaries, binary content, and excessive input are blocked. The tool does not silently skip a broken Dialogue event and return an incomplete subtitle.
