What is the difference between VTT and SRT?

VTT uses a "WEBVTT" header and dot-separated milliseconds (00:00:01.000). SRT uses sequential numbered cues and comma-separated milliseconds (00:00:01,000). SRT has wider support in editing tools.

Does this work with YouTube subtitles?

Yes. VTT files you extract from YouTube or embed.player subtitles can be pasted here and exported as SRT for your video editor.

Will style tags be preserved?

Basic text is preserved. VTT styling blocks and cue settings are stripped because SRT does not support them.
