How to convert LRC to SRT

  1. Step 1

    Add your LRC

    Drop an .lrc file onto the box, pick one from your computer, or paste the lyrics straight in. Tags like [ti:] and [ar:] are fine. They are read and left out of the subtitles.

  2. Step 2

    Check the timing

    Each lyric line becomes one subtitle that ends when the next line starts. Set how long the last line stays up, and cap long lines if the song has a long instrumental gap.

  3. Step 3

    Copy or download

    Copy the SRT to your clipboard or save it as a .srt file. Then add it to your edit, your upload page, or a media player next to the video.

LRC to SRT questions

What is an LRC file?

LRC is a plain-text lyrics format used by music players and karaoke apps. Each line starts with a time tag like [01:23.45] that says when to show it. It stores start times only, no end times, which is why most video tools won't open it.

How does the converter decide when each subtitle ends?

A line stays on screen until the next timed line starts, the same way a lyrics player shows it. The last line has nothing after it, so it gets the length you choose (4 seconds by default). An empty time tag, like [02:10.00] on its own, ends the line before it early.

Does it handle [offset:], repeated time tags and enhanced LRC?

Yes. [offset:] is applied to every line, and a positive value shows the lyrics sooner. A line with several tags, like a repeated chorus, becomes one subtitle per tag. Word-level stamps such as <00:12.34> are removed so only the words remain. Two lines with the same time, like a lyric and its translation, become one two-line subtitle.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in JavaScript inside this page. Your lyrics are never sent to a server, so there is no account, no credits and no upload limit.

Will the SRT work in my editor?

The output is standard SubRip: numbered cues, HH:MM:SS,mmm --> HH:MM:SS,mmm times, and a blank line between cues, saved as UTF-8. That is the subtitle format video editors, upload pages and most players import.
