Subtitle timing lines are useful for playback but get in the way when you want to read or edit the words.
This tool removes the timestamp lines from your subtitles and gives back clean text, with a toggle to keep the cue numbers if you still want them.
How to use Remove Timestamps from Subtitles
- Paste your subtitles into the left panel.
- Turn on Keep cue numbers if you want the numbering retained.
- Copy the cleaned subtitles from the right panel or download them.
What you can do with it
- Read subtitles without the timing clutter.
- Prepare captions for translation.
- Make script notes from a subtitle file.
Good to know
SRT timestamps sit on their own line with an arrow between two times, while transcripts often use inline stamps like a bracketed time. This tool targets the subtitle timing lines and leaves the spoken text.
Frequently asked questions
What timestamps are removed?
Lines containing the SRT arrow between two times are removed as timing lines.
Can I keep the cue numbers?
Yes. Turn on Keep cue numbers to retain the index numbers while removing the timestamps.
How is this different from a transcript cleaner?
This focuses on subtitle timing lines; transcripts may use inline bracketed times that a transcript tool handles.
