    When one continuous video is later cut into two separate files - say, for two separate uploads - the matching subtitle file needs to follow the same cut. This tool splits a subtitle file into two parts at a freely chosen point in time.

    Every subtitle is assigned to a side by its START time: if it begins before the split point, it belongs entirely to the first part, even if it reaches past the split point - a subtitle is therefore never cut mid-sentence. The subtitles of the second part are shifted so the split point becomes their new time zero, matching a video that itself starts over at zero from there.

    Both parts keep the format of the source file (an SRT input produces two SRT files) and can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP. Processing happens entirely locally in your browser.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop the subtitle file.
    2. Set the split point in seconds.
    3. Download both parts individually or as a ZIP.

    Limitations: A subtitle that reaches past the split point is not cut, it stays whole in the first part - so the first part can extend slightly beyond the chosen point. The second part is shifted so the split point becomes zero; if that does not match the actual second video, the shift tool afterwards helps.

    FAQ

    Is the file uploaded?

    No, the split runs locally in the browser.

    What happens to a subtitle right at the split point?

    Its START time decides: if it begins before the split point, it belongs entirely to the first part, even if it extends past it.

    Does the second part start at zero again?

    Yes, its timestamps are shifted so the chosen split point becomes the new time zero.

    What format do the two result files have?

    The same as the input file - an SRT input produces two SRT files, a VTT input two VTT files.
