Convert YouTube SBV captions into a clean SRT file
YouTube Studio exports captions as .sbv, but most editors and platforms need .srt. This page gives you a fast SBV to SRT converter that runs locally, keeps your timing intact, and outputs a clean SRT file you can use immediately.
Why Convert SBV To SRT
SBV is specific to YouTube. Editors like Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut, along with VLC and most platforms, expect standard SRT subtitles instead.
If you already downloaded captions from YouTube Studio, converting SBV to SRT is the fastest way to make them work everywhere else without retyping anything.
The workflow is simple: upload your .sbv file, convert it, and the SRT downloads immediately with the timing kept in sync.
How To Convert SBV To SRT Online
A simple YouTube caption conversion workflow

Drag and drop your .sbv file onto the converter, or click to select it. Everything is processed locally with no upload to a server.
Step 3
Download the SRT file instantly
Click the main convert button and the .srt file downloads immediately, with YouTube timing rewritten as standard SRT timestamps.
Step 4
Use the SRT in your editor or platform
Drop the converted SRT into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, VLC, or any platform that needs standard subtitles instead of YouTube SBV.
Best Use Cases
When you need an SBV to SRT converter
This page is designed for creators and teams who already have YouTube captions and just need them in a format other tools accept. It is a practical bridge from YouTube SBV to standard SRT for editing, repurposing, and accessibility workflows.
Video editors and post teams
Editors working in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut need SRT, not SBV. Converting your YouTube captions to SRT lets you import them straight into the timeline.
