Frequently Asked Questions

What does time shift do to my subtitles?
It adds or subtracts a fixed number of seconds from every timestamp in your subtitle file.
Does it work with both SRT and VTT?
Yes. The tool auto-detects the format and outputs in the same format.
Can I shift by fractions of a second?
Yes. Enter a decimal value like 0.5 for half a second.
What happens if shifting makes a timestamp negative?
Timestamps are clamped to 00:00:00,000 — they will never go below zero.
Will this fix gradually drifting subtitles?
Time shift applies a constant offset. If subtitles drift over time, you may need a speed adjustment tool.
