A browser-based set of tools for fixing SRT/VTT encoding, timing, markup and formatting problems.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-06 issue.

For: People repairing SRT or VTT subtitle files
Worth noticing: Listed encodings include UTF-16, Windows-1252, GBK/GB18030, Big5 and Shift-JIS.

Field notes

The encoding fixer is described as auto-detecting character encodings and correcting mojibake, with examples for Café and Cyrillic text. The sync tool offers timestamp shifting as well as frame-rate rescaling, while the cleaner targets markup, sound cues and empty cues. The page lists support for several legacy and regional encodings and says the tools work offline after loading; those are homepage claims, not independently verified behavior.
