What is SMI to SRT conversion?

Subtitles are stored in many formats, and not every video player or editing app reads them all. SAMI (SMI) and SubRip (SRT) are two common subtitle formats with different structures. This converter parses your .smi file, keeps the timing and text of every caption, and rewrites the content as a valid .srt file. The whole conversion runs locally in your browser, so your subtitle content stays private.

How it works

  1. 1Upload a .smi subtitle file or paste its text below.
  2. 2The converted SRT output appears in the editor, ready to review.
  3. 3Edit the captions, or switch the output format with the dropdown.
  4. 4Click Download to save your .srt file. No signup needed.
