About Converting to CSV
Converting to CSV turns your subtitle file into a spreadsheet (one row per cue, with `index`, `start`, `end`, `startMs`, `endMs`, and `text` columns you can open directly in Excel or Google Sheets. It's a one-way export built for review and bulk editing) sort, filter, and find-and-replace across an entire file as a table, rather than scrolling through timecoded text, there's no path back from CSV into a playable subtitle track.
Supported Source Formats
- SRT (SubRip) – SRT's numbered entries and timestamps become spreadsheet rows with explicit `start`/`end` and millisecond `startMs`/`endMs` columns, ready for a translator or QA reviewer to work through in Excel or Sheets.
- WebVTT – WebVTT's cue timing converts the same way SRT's does; positioning cues and inline styling are stripped from the `text` column, since a spreadsheet cell has no concept of styled text.
- ASS/SSA (Advanced SubStation Alpha) – ASS's fonts, colors, positioning, and karaoke tags are stripped entirely, the `text` column holds plain dialogue only, which is what a reviewer working in a spreadsheet actually needs.
- SBV (YouTube Subtitles) – SBV's simple timestamp pairs convert directly into the `start`/`end`/`startMs`/`endMs` columns alongside the plain dialogue text, one row per cue.
- SAMI/SMI – SAMI's sync-point timing and HTML markup convert into the same flat row structure, class-based styling and multi-language structure are dropped in favor of plain text and millisecond timing columns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert a CSV export back into a subtitle format?
No: CSV here is a one-way export for review and bulk editing in a spreadsheet, not a subtitle format any media player reads. Keep your original subtitle file if you'll need a playable caption track again.
What columns does the CSV export include?
Each row has `index`, `start`/`end` as human-readable timecodes, `startMs`/`endMs` as raw millisecond numbers, and `text` with all inline styling stripped: RFC 4180-escaped so commas, quotes, and line breaks in dialogue don't break the columns when opened in Excel or Sheets.
Does the CSV export keep ASS styling or karaoke tags?
No: the `text` column is fully plain text with all inline markup stripped, the same as the JSON export. CSV is for reviewing and editing dialogue in a spreadsheet, not preserving visual styling.
Why convert subtitles to CSV instead of editing the subtitle file directly?
A spreadsheet's sort, filter, and find-and-replace tools make bulk text editing, proofreading, and handing dialogue off to a translator or QA reviewer far faster than scrolling through a timecoded subtitle file line by line.
