Free Online TTML to LRC Converter
This converter reads <p> cues from a TTML document and writes standard line-level LRC output. Each cue receives an [mm:ss.xx] start timestamp, end times are discarded, <br/> elements become physical lines, and common inline formatting tags are removed. The conversion stays in your browser.

TTML vs LRC Technical Specifications
TTML
TTML (Timed Text Markup Language) is an XML subtitle format. This converter looks for <p> elements with begin and end, or begin and dur, timing attributes, and accepts second-based or clock-valued timing. Cues without a begin attribute are skipped.
LRC
LRC is a line-timed lyrics format. This converter writes only [mm:ss.xx]text lines; it does not add metadata tags such as [ti:], [ar:], or [offset:], and it does not write end times. Cue text with multiple lines becomes untimestamped continuation lines.
Format Differences
Conversion Troubleshooting & Gotchas
Practical solutions for player compatibility, character encoding, and timing synchronization
Subtitle timing drifts or appears out of sync on media players
Video files frequently differ in framerate (e.g., 23.976 fps vs 25 fps). If the timing drifts steadily, use our Subtitle Sync tool to adjust the global offset or framerate stretch.
Characters appear as garbled symbols or question marks (Mojibake)
Legacy files saved in Windows-1252, Shift-JIS, or GBK may render incorrectly. Our exporter standardizes output to clean UTF-8. Use our Subtitle Encoding Converter if the source file is corrupted.
Overlapping captions when multiple speakers talk simultaneously
Different formats handle overlapping dialogue differently. If your target player cannot render stacked cues cleanly, open the file in our Subtitle Editor to adjust individual cue timings.
Video editing software (Premiere, DaVinci, Final Cut) rejects the file
Professional NLE software enforces strict syntax rules. Our converter eliminates malformed line breaks and non-standard tags, producing clean, standardized files.

How It Works
- 1
Select or drop a TTML file.
- 2
The parser extracts <p> text and begin timing in document order.
- 3
Millisecond timing is truncated to LRC's two fractional digits.
- 4
Common inline tags are removed and line breaks are retained.
- 5
Each cue starts a new [mm:ss.xx] LRC line.
