About Converting CapCut to SRT
Converting a CapCut project to SRT reads the captions saved in the project's draft file on your computer and writes them out as a standard .srt subtitle file, each caption with the start and end time it has on the CapCut timeline. It works for captions CapCut generated and for captions you typed or corrected by hand.
What is a CapCut draft file?
A CapCut draft is the project file CapCut desktop saves on your computer for every project: draft_content.json on Windows, draft_info.json on a Mac. It lists everything on the timeline, including the text of every caption and the exact moment it starts and ends. It is a project file for CapCut, not a subtitle file a player or another editor can open.
What is SRT Format?
SubRip (SRT) is the most widely supported subtitle format. It contains only basic text and timing information without styling or positioning data, making it universally compatible with video players and platforms.
About CapCut to SRT Conversion
- Auto captions first: when the project has CapCut auto captions, only those are exported. A project with no auto captions exports every text layer instead, titles included, so delete the lines you do not need.
- Timeline timing kept: each caption keeps the position it has on the CapCut timeline, rounded to the millisecond, and the captions are written in the order they play.
- Words and timing only: fonts, colours, animations and caption templates stay in CapCut. The SRT carries the words and their timing, which is what YouTube, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and video players read.
- Hidden captions skipped: a caption you hid on the timeline, an empty caption and a caption with no length are left out.
All timing is preserved precisely during conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an SRT file out of a CapCut project?
Open the project's folder on your computer, find draft_content.json (Windows) or draft_info.json (Mac) and drop it on the converter above. The captions come out as a .srt file to download. The draft is read inside your browser tab and is not uploaded.
Where is the CapCut draft file?
By default CapCut desktop keeps each project in its own folder: on Windows under %LOCALAPPDATA%\CapCut\User Data\Projects\com.lveditor.draft, on a Mac under Movies/CapCut/User Data/Projects/com.lveditor.draft in your home folder. If you changed where projects are saved, CapCut's settings show the folder. Sort the folders by date modified to find the latest project.
Does it work with captions I typed myself?
Yes. CapCut's own subtitle export works only for captions it recognized automatically (CapCut's help, checked October 2026). Captions you typed are saved in the draft too, and this page reads them.
Why does my draft show as encrypted?
Projects saved by 剪映 (JianYing) 6.0 and later, and projects started from a CapCut template, are stored in an encrypted form, so this page cannot read their captions. Projects you make in CapCut desktop from your own clips were saved as plain text in every version checked in October 2026, up to CapCut 9.3.
Can I do this from CapCut on my phone or CapCut web?
No. The phone app and the web editor keep no project file on your computer. Open the project in CapCut desktop, let it save, then use the draft file from the desktop project folder.
Is this page made by CapCut?
No. SubtitleKit is a free tool built by Daniel, a solo developer, and it is not affiliated with CapCut. It only reads the file you drop, inside your browser.
Tips for Converting CapCut to SRT
Close the project in CapCut before you pick up the draft file, so the file holds your latest edits.
If the project folder has a Timelines folder, use the draft file inside Timelines rather than the one at the top of the project folder: newer CapCut versions keep the timeline you see there.
