Free Online ASS to TTML Converter

Our ASS to TTML converter reads Advanced SubStation Alpha input and produces Timed Text Markup Language output entirely in your browser. Source ASS timing (H:MM:SS.cc centiseconds) is converted to TTML timing (seconds (1.500s) or clock values). Styling and markup that the target format cannot represent are normalized or stripped, leaving valid, ready-to-use output. The conversion runs client-side, so your subtitle files are never uploaded to a server.

Input Format

ASS

ASS (Advanced SubStation Alpha v4+) is an extended subtitle format used heavily in anime distribution. It features a [Script Info] header, a [V4+ Styles] section defining fonts, colors, outlines, and shadows, and an [Events] section of Dialogue lines carrying inline override tags such as {\pos}, {\blur}, and {\fad}. Timing uses centisecond precision (H:MM:SS.cc). ASS supports positioning, vector drawing, and karaoke effects.

Output Format

TTML

TTML (Timed Text Markup Language) is an XML-based subtitle format standardized by the W3C and required by Netflix, Apple TV, and broadcast delivery. TTML stores captions in <p> elements with begin/end timing expressed as seconds (1.500s) or clock values, supports rich styling and regions, and is the basis of the IMSC and ITT profiles.

Features

Generates well-formed TTML XML with a <tt> root, <body>, and <div>.
Converts source timing to TTML begin/end expressions in seconds (1.500s).
Escapes XML special characters and converts line breaks to <br/> tags.
Outputs UTF-8 TTML compatible with Netflix, Apple TV, and broadcast tools.

Why Convert?

TTML is required by Netflix, Apple TV, and many broadcast and streaming delivery specifications.
TTML's XML structure supports rich styling, regions, and timing that survive professional pipelines.
TTML is the basis of the IMSC and ITT profiles used for international subtitle delivery.
TTML validates cleanly and is the modern interchange format for professional timed text.

Format Differences

ASS and TTML use different internal structures; the converter normalizes the source cues into the target layout.
ASS uses centisecond timestamps (H:MM:SS.cc); TTML uses begin/end attributes in seconds or clock values.
ASS may carry styling or markup; TTML supports its own styling model, so unsupported formatting is mapped or dropped.

Common Use Cases

Streaming Delivery

Produce TTML subtitles that meet Netflix, Apple TV, and broadcast delivery specs.

Professional Interchange

Use TTML as the rich, validatable interchange format for professional timed-text pipelines.

IMSC / ITT Profiles

Generate TTML that serves as the basis for IMSC and iTunes Timed Text delivery.
