Free Online LRC to SMI Converter
Our LRC to SMI converter reads Lyrics input and produces Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange output entirely in your browser. Source LRC timing ([mm:ss.xx] minute-second-centisecond) is converted to SMI timing (whole milliseconds (Start=...)). 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
LRCLRC (Lyrics) is a timestamped lyrics format used by music players and karaoke applications. Each lyric line is prefixed with a [mm:ss.xx] timestamp marking when it should appear. LRC files are plain text and are the standard for synced song lyrics in players such as MiniLyrics, Poweramp, and many karaoke apps. LRC has no end timestamps; each line ends when the next begins.
Output Format
SMISMI (SAMI, Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange) is a Microsoft subtitle format using HTML-like <SYNC> elements with Start times in milliseconds. SMI supports multiple language tracks through CSS classes and is suitable for Windows Media Player and legacy accessibility workflows.
