Free SRT translator — timing stays intact
Upload an SRT, VTT or ASS file, pick a language, and get a translated file back with the same timestamps. Names and protected terms stay locked.
Translate an SRT file
Start with audio or video
Create timed source subtitles first, then choose target languages without rebuilding the timing.
Accepted formats: .wav, .mp3, .m4a, .flac · Up to 200 MB.
Upload only media you own or have permission to process.
Your original audio or video is kept temporarily for song preview and claiming, until you claim it or the trial expires. How we process your file
Input: a completed subtitle project or a source SRT/VTT with confirmed wording.
Output: translated subtitle files with fixed timing and exports included in your plan.
Common quality signal: translated text may become too long for the original subtitle duration.
Translation tools that ignore timing can create subtitles that look right but fail in delivery. TimedSubs keeps translation tied to the subtitle timeline.

FAQ
Where does translation fit?
It follows clean source timing, then creates target-language subtitle files without moving the timestamps.
Can terminology be protected?
Yes. Paid plans add protected terms and glossary capacity so names, titles, and product words do not drift.
Can I translate an SRT file online?
Yes. Upload an SRT or VTT file and translate it while the original timing stays locked. You can try it on this page without an account; after sign-in you get the full project flow, exports, and plan features.
Can generic AI chat tools translate SRT files?
They can produce translated text, but they do not understand subtitle structure: cue timing, line length, and term consistency need a subtitle-aware pipeline. TimedSubs keeps timestamps locked, checks exports before delivery, and protects terminology on paid plans.
What if my text is not timed yet?
Then start from the Script + Audio workflow: your script stays the text source and the audio produces the timing. See the Voiceover Script to SRT feature (/features/script-to-srt) or the Script-to-Subtitles tool (/tools/script-to-subtitles).
