What is SMI to SRT Subtitle Converter?

SAMI (.smi) was a proprietary Microsoft multimedia caption format historically popular in Korea and Asia, while SubRip (.srt) is the modern universal subtitle format supported across YouTube, Netflix, VLC, and smart TVs.

This tool converts SAMI `<SYNC Start=...>` millisecond timestamps and `<P Class=...>` markup into sequential numbered SRT subtitle blocks with standard `HH:MM:SS,mmm --> HH:MM:SS,mmm` timecodes.

It automatically strips legacy HTML markup, font tags, and non-breaking spaces while estimating realistic subtitle end timestamps if missing.

How to Use

  1. Paste the raw SMI subtitle file text or upload a .smi file.
  2. The converted standard SRT subtitle structure generates automatically in real time.
  3. Click 'Copy' to copy the text, or 'Download File' to save as a .srt file.
  4. Click 'Sample' to quickly test with sample subtitle tags.

FAQ

Why does SMI have missing subtitle end times?
SMI only defines subtitle start times. Our converter automatically infers each subtitle's end time based on the next start tag or average human reading duration.
