A HELPING HAND

Resynchronise SRT or VTT subtitles with an offset

When every subtitle appears early or late by the same interval, shift timestamps without rewriting the text.

Choose offset direction

  1. Import or paste an SRT or VTT subtitle file.
  2. Enter an offset in seconds: positive for later, negative for earlier. Up to three decimal places are accepted.
  3. Prepare the result, check the initial timestamps and download the adjusted file.

Example: a subtitle appears early

Original start: 00:00:10,000
Offset: +2.5 seconds
New start: 00:00:12,500
Each cue end is shifted by the same interval

Check beginning and end

If a timestamp would become negative, processing is refused: cues are not silently deleted or shortened. Choose a smaller negative offset.

Test the download in your player at the beginning, middle and end. If the error grows over time, a constant offset is insufficient: this tool does not correct playback speed differences.

Formats and limits

Maximum 2 MB text and 20,000 cues. VTT shifting keeps NOTE, STYLE and REGION blocks and updates inline timestamps. MPEG-synchronised X-TIMESTAMP-MAP files are not supported.

The original stays intact and processing is local. Download your copy before leaving; keep the original to return to its timestamps.
