Frequently asked
What's an SBV file?+
SBV (SubViewer) is the simple subtitle format YouTube's uploader accepts. It's like SRT without cue numbers and with comma-separated timestamps. Most editors can't read it directly — convert to SRT first.
Is timing preserved exactly?+
Yes. The converter only changes file structure (adds cue numbers, switches comma timestamps to arrow timestamps). Actual times stay identical.
Will the order of cues change?+
No — cues are written in the order they appear in the source file.
