Subtitle Converter: formats, encodings, and the charset trap

subtitleconv.site Visit website

Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based tool for converting subtitle formats and text encodings, with batch processing and subtitle timing controls.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.

For: People repairing subtitle and text-file encoding issues
Worth noticing: It explains why SMI/HTML charset declarations must change with the bytes, or players may still decode the file incorrectly.

Field notes

Users can add individual files or folders, inspect detected encodings and subtitle counts, then convert formats and encodings together before downloading files individually or as a ZIP. The controls also cover timing offsets, frame-rate remapping, line endings, unrepresentable characters, and in-document charset declarations. The page notes that ISO-2022-JP is read-only and that some GB18030/EUC-JP ranges are absent from its conversion tables.
