How Subtitle Cleaner works
Each line is cleaned with simple rules you can switch on and off: tags in brackets, NAME: labels, music notes and repeated lines go, then times are fixed so lines do not overlap and stay on screen long enough. You see before and after side by side.
Input: SRT, VTT, ASS, SBV, SUB, LRC. Output: SRT, VTT, ASS.

Subtitle Cleaner FAQ
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser tab. Files are read from your disk into memory and the result is generated locally.
- Is it free? Are there limits or watermarks?
- Free and open source (MIT). There are no file-size caps, daily quotas, accounts or watermarks.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes, once the page (and any engine it needs) has loaded, it keeps working without a connection thanks to the service worker cache.
