Can I extract subtitles from streaming videos?

No, the video file must be uploaded directly. Streaming DRM-protected content cannot be processed.

What subtitle format is the output?

Extracted subtitles are saved in SRT (SubRip) format for maximum compatibility with all video players and editors.

What if my video has multiple subtitle tracks?

The tool detects multiple tracks and lists them for you to select which one to extract.
