Convert subtitle timing between video frame rates

Use the FPS converter when a subtitle file starts in sync but slowly drifts because it was made for a different frame rate than your video.

Frame-rate scaling

Scale every timestamp from the subtitle source FPS to the video target FPS.

Fix gradual drift

Use FPS conversion when subtitle sync gets worse over the length of the video.

Common presets

Quickly switch between 23.976, 24, 25, and 29.97 fps conversion pairs.

Export subtitle file

Download converted subtitles as SRT, VTT, or ASS after previewing timing.

Subtitle FPS conversion examples, drift fixes, and timing formula

Use a subtitle FPS converter when captions start in sync but drift over time because the subtitles were made for a different video frame rate. Unlike a simple delay tool, FPS conversion scales the whole timeline.

Example input and output

25 fps timing
1 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000 The subtitle was timed for 25 fps.
Converted to 23.976 fps
1 00:10:25,626 --> 00:10:28,641 The subtitle was timed for 25 fps.

Best for

PAL to film timing

Convert subtitles between 25 fps and 23.976 or 24 fps when a release uses a different frame rate.

Fix gradual drift

Use FPS conversion when the subtitle offset grows larger toward the end of the video.

Format handoff

Export converted timing as SRT, VTT, or ASS for different playback and editing workflows.

Common file issues handled

Conversion formula

Each timestamp is multiplied by source FPS divided by target FPS.

Not a delay tool

Use Subtitle Time Shifter when every cue is off by the same number of seconds.

Common presets

Quick presets cover 23.976, 24, 25, and 29.97 fps workflows.

Preview first

Check converted timings before downloading, especially when you are unsure of the source FPS.
