ASS to Plain text Converter

Convert ASS subtitles to Plain text with the timings preserved.

To convert ASS to Plain text, paste the subtitle file above and the converted output appears immediately. Cue timings are preserved to the millisecond, and cues can be renumbered sequentially — which matters because several players silently stop at the first out-of-order index. Stripping timings leaves a readable transcript. It is a one-way conversion: nothing in plain text says when a line should appear.

About converting ASS to TXT

ASS carries positioning, fonts and colours alongside the text. Converting to it produces valid but unstyled cues; converting away from it discards the styling entirely. Stripping timings leaves a readable transcript. It is a one-way conversion: nothing in plain text says when a line should appear.
