Frequently Asked Questions

What subtitle formats are supported?

SRT and VTT (WebVTT). The output is always SRT format, which is compatible with virtually all video players and platforms.

What if the two files have different entry counts?

The tool matches entries by timestamp overlap (>50%). Entries from the primary file without a match appear as single-language. Extra entries from the secondary file are added at the end.

Can I use this for language learning?

Yes. Combine original dialogue subtitles with a translation to see both languages simultaneously while watching. This is one of the most effective methods for learning a language through video.

Can I merge more than two files?

The tool merges two files at a time. To combine three files, first merge two, then merge the result with the third.

Which line appears on top?

The primary file (left upload zone) appears on top, and the secondary file appears below it. In most video players, the last line of a subtitle entry is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
