More free subtitle tools
Same quality bar. Still free. Still no upload.
Your files never leave your device
Free to use, with no account, no usage limit and no watermark, because the work runs on your device rather than on our servers.
This is not a promise about how carefully we handle your upload. There is no upload. The file you choose is read into memory by your own browser, processed there, and handed back as a download — the tool has no server component and makes no network request with your data.
- Nothing is stored. We never receive the file, so there is no copy to retain, no retention period to disclose, and nothing to delete on request.
- Nothing is transmitted. No upload endpoint, no analytics payload carrying file contents, no third-party processor.
- You can verify it. Load this page, disconnect from the internet, and use the tool. It still works, because everything it needs is already on your machine.
- Nothing persists after you close the tab. Files are held in page memory only — not in local storage, not in a cache, not in a database.
A note on wording, because it matters: we do not describe these tools as “encrypted.” Encryption protects data that travels to somebody else's computer. Your file does not travel, so there is nothing to encrypt and nothing to intercept — which is a stronger guarantee than encryption, not a weaker one. The page itself is served over HTTPS like the rest of the site.
This makes the tools safe for material you are contractually barred from uploading to third-party services — client footage under NDA, unreleased campaign assets, anything covered by a confidentiality clause.
How it works
1. Drop or paste a subtitle file
SRT or VTT, dropped or pasted into the box.
2. Type one split timestamp
Cues that start before it go to part 1; the rest go to part 2.
3. Download both parts
Part 2 is re-timed to start from zero, in the same format as your file.
Questions
What happens to a cue that spans the split point?
It stays whole in the first file rather than being cut in half. chopping a cue's duration would misrepresent when that line was actually said. If the split point lands inside a cue, expect the first file to run slightly past it and the second to start slightly after.
Is this the same as running the timing shifter twice?
No. The shifter only ever moves every cue in one file by the same fixed amount. it has no concept of a cutpoint and can't drop cues from one side of it. This partitions cues by that cutpoint first and only then rebases the second half, which the shifter alone cannot do.
Can I split into more than two parts?
Not in one go. Each pass cuts at a single timestamp into part 1 and part 2. For three parts, split once, then drop part 2 back in and split it again, remembering that part 2 now starts at zero.

Everything on this page works on a file you already have, which is why it costs nothing. Generating something that did not exist (video from a prompt, a voice, a score) runs a model, and that costs credits.
