ASS to SRT Converter

ASS (Advanced SubStation Alpha v4+) is an extended subtitle format introduced in 2003, widely used in anime fansubbing. It supports styled text with fonts, colors, outlines, shadows, blur effects, screen positioning, vector drawing, and karaoke timing. Files are organized into [Script Info], [V4+ Styles], and [Events] sections with inline override tags for per-character formatting.

ASS (v4+) is the successor to SSA (v4). ASS adds blur effects, outline and shadow style fields, extended alpha channel support, and additional override tags. Both share the same section-based structure and Dialogue format. This converter handles both ASS and SSA files identically.

Karaoke timing tags ({\k}, {\kf}, {\ko}) are removed entirely during conversion. SRT has no karaoke support. The dialogue text surrounding the karaoke tags is preserved, but the syllable-by-syllable timing data is lost.

Yes. SRT does not support any styling, positioning, or visual effects. Every override tag ({\fs}, {\c}, {\pos}, {\blur}, {\fad}, {\k}, etc.) is stripped during conversion. Only the dialogue text and timing are preserved. If you need to keep styling, do not convert to SRT.

ASS uses H:MM:SS.cc format where cc is centiseconds (0-99). SRT uses HH:MM:SS,mmm where mmm is milliseconds (0-999). The converter multiplies centiseconds by 10. For example, 0:01:25.40 in ASS becomes 00:01:25,400 in SRT. Hours are zero-padded to two digits.

Positioning tags ({\pos(x,y)}, {\move(x1,y1,x2,y2)}) control where subtitles appear on screen. SRT has no positioning support, so these tags are stripped. All subtitle text defaults to the bottom-center position in SRT.
