SUB to VTT: common questions
- Are my SUB files uploaded anywhere?
- No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.
- Is converting SUB to VTT free?
- Yes, without a limit on how many files you convert and with no watermark on the result. Files up to 100 MB are covered by the free plan.
- Does converting SUB to VTT lose quality?
- No. VTT stores the same content without discarding anything, so the result is identical in quality to the original.
- Do I need to install anything to open VTT files?
- No installation is needed for the conversion itself — it runs in the browser you already have. Opening the VTT afterwards needs whatever software normally handles WebVTT on your device.
