Free, instant, and entirely in your browser — your subtitle file is never uploaded.
MicroDVD counts frames, not seconds — this has to match the video.
SRT is the plainest subtitle format there is: a number, a start and end time, the lines of text, a blank line, repeat. It came out of a 1990s DVD-ripping program called SubRip and has outlived every format designed to replace it, precisely because there is almost nothing in it to go wrong.
Plain text is the subtitle with the subtitle part removed: the spoken lines, in order, with no timing at all.
This is how you get a transcript out of a subtitle. What comes back is the dialogue with the numbers and timestamps stripped out — ready to read, to paste into a document, to count, or to hand to a translator or a language model that does not want timing in the way. It is a one-way trip by nature: put the text back into a subtitle later and the timing has to be rebuilt from nothing.
You want plain text because you are done with the video. Reading the transcript, counting words, feeding the script to a translator or a language model, quoting a line in a document — all of it is easier without timestamps in the way. This is the one conversion here you should expect to be one-way.
This one throws the timing away. Everything a subtitle knows about *when* a line appears lives in its timestamps, and plain text has none — so what comes out is the dialogue, in order, and nothing else. That is exactly right when you want to read the transcript, run a word count, or paste the script somewhere; it is the wrong move if you ever intend to put it back on a video, because there is no way to recover what was discarded.
No. The conversion runs in your browser using JavaScript — your SRT file is read from disk, converted in memory and handed back as a download. Nothing is transmitted, so there is nothing for us to store or delete. You can disconnect from the internet after this page loads and the conversion still works.

The page checks before it converts. Subtitle formats are identified by what is inside the file rather than by the extension — which matters, because .sub alone is used by three unrelated formats. If you hand this page something that is not SRT, it says so and points you at the all-format converter instead of producing a broken file.
