to DFXP

Drop in a .csv (Comma-separated values) file, get a clean .dfxp (Distribution Format Exchange Profile) back. Distribution Format Exchange Profile is the older TTML 1.0 profile from W3C used by Adobe Flash captions and Netflix's pre-IMSC ingest. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your captions never leave the page.

Frequently asked

Why convert CSV to DFXP?+

Comma-separated values is one row per cue with index, start, end, and text columns — opens in any spreadsheet. Distribution Format Exchange Profile is built for legacy Flash players, archival deliverables, and pre-IMSC ingest pipelines. Converting lets you take a file produced for one workflow and use it in the other without re-typing or re-timing anything.

Is timing preserved exactly?+

Yes. The converter only re-encodes the file structure — start and end times round-trip to within one millisecond.

Does any styling survive the conversion?+

Neither format carries styling, so there's nothing to lose. The text and timing transfer exactly.

Does this run on a server?+

No. The conversion is pure JavaScript running in your browser — files never upload anywhere. Works offline once the page is loaded.
