FAQ
Common questions about converting LRC to SRT.
Is the LRC to SRT converter completely free?
Yes, our converter is 100% free with no hidden fees, registration requirements, or file conversion limits.
What is the difference between LRC and SRT formats?
LRC uses [mm:ss.xx] timestamps for each lyric line, designed for music players. SRT uses numbered cues with hh:mm:ss,mmm start and end timestamps, designed for video subtitles. Converting LRC to SRT makes your lyrics usable as video subtitles.
Does it support Enhanced LRC (word-level timestamps)?
Yes. Enhanced LRC lines with <mm:ss.xx>word tags are converted. The full text is preserved, and SRT uses line-level start and end timestamps for each entry.
Can I convert SRT back to LRC?
Yes. Click the "SRT → LRC" button to switch the conversion direction. You can convert both ways instantly.
Will my data be stored or sent to a server?
No. All conversion happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
What about LRC metadata tags like [ar:], [ti:]?
LRC metadata tags (artist, title, album, etc.) are recognized during parsing but are not included in the SRT output, since SRT does not support metadata. If you convert SRT back to LRC, the metadata will not be present.
Do converted SRT files work with YouTube?
Yes. Our SRT output is fully compatible with YouTube's subtitle system, VLC, and all major video platforms and players.
Can I convert large files?
Yes. There is no file size limit—conversion is limited only by your browser's memory capacity. Files up to 10MB are processed instantly.
