Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to shift forward (+) or backward (-)?
If subtitles appear before the actor speaks, add a positive delay (+ seconds). If subtitles appear after dialogue has already occurred, add a negative offset (- seconds).
Are my videos or subtitles uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs 100% locally in your web browser via HTML5 File and Blob APIs. No video or subtitle file is ever transferred across the internet.
Can I resync subtitles without uploading a video?
Yes! If you already know the offset from a media player like VLC (e.g. +1.2 seconds), upload just the SRT file, enter 1.2 in manual adjustment, and download the updated file.
Will this permanently fix the subtitles for smart TVs and media players?
Yes. The downloaded .srt file contains permanently rewritten timestamps (00:00:00,000) that work on smart TVs, Plex, Kodi, Netflix players, and all mobile devices without needing runtime adjustments.
