Turn an SRT or VTT file into timestamped chapters, grouped by topic, ready for YouTube or a video player.

You already have a subtitle file, produced by a platform or by an editing suite. It holds everything you need to go from transcript to chapters: the text and the timings.
The tool groups the subtitles into coherent chapters based on the pauses in the speech — a clear gap almost always signals a change of topic — then gives each block a title.
No transcription is redone: the processing is immediate, and it does not use your audio quota.
When is this tool useful?
- Pull the audio track from a talk or a lecture
- Slim down a video that is too heavy to send
- Produce subtitles from a recording
- Convert media to a format your player can read

Frequently asked questions
Which transcript formats are accepted?
SRT, VTT, and plain text where each line starts with a timestamp such as “00:12”.
Does the split really follow the meaning?
It follows the pauses, which lines up with the meaning most of the time. On speech with no breathing room, the split ends up regular rather than thematic.
Do I need an account?
No, the tool works right away. An account is only needed to lift the daily limits.
Does the result carry a watermark?
Never. We add no mark of any kind to the files we produce, including on the free plan.
