FAQ
Will this fix every broken VTT file?
It rebuilds valid cues and reports obvious invalid timing lines. If a cue has severely malformed timestamps, it cannot guess the intended timing and will skip that cue.

Why repair WebVTT captions?
WebVTT is more expressive than SRT, but that also means more ways for a file to break during export, editing, translation, or platform handoff. A repair pass catches issues before upload.
Preserve WebVTT-specific metadata
WebVTT captions can include cue identifiers, cue positioning settings, NOTE blocks, STYLE blocks, and REGION definitions. A normal subtitle converter may drop those details. This repair tool rebuilds VTT output while preserving the supported WebVTT structure.
Find common upload blockers
Video platforms and HTML5 players often reject files with malformed timing lines, missing headers, or broken cue order. The validation report highlights the parsed cue count and invalid timing lines so you can catch problems before delivery.
Local browser-based validation
Caption drafts often contain unreleased course content, client work, or internal media text. This page repairs and validates the file locally in the browser, so the text does not need to leave your device.
