This article explains what an SRT file is, how to edit one or create your own SRT file, what programs can play the file along with a video, and how to convert an SRT file to another subtitle format.
What is an SRT file and how do I create one?
A file with the .SRT extension is a SubRip subtitle file. It contains video subtitle information such as the start and end timecodes of the text and the sequential number of the subtitles.
It is important to note that the file itself is just a text file used in conjunction with video data. This means that it does not contain any video or audio data.
Any text editor can be used to open SRT files, since they are simply plain text files. Check out our list of the best free text editors for some options, or consider using a dedicated SRT editor like Jubler.
