Free Online TTML to ASS Converter

Our TTML to ASS converter reads Timed Text Markup Language input and produces Advanced SubStation Alpha output entirely in your browser. Source TTML timing (seconds (1.500s) or clock values) is converted to ASS timing (H:MM:SS.cc centiseconds). 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

TTML

TTML (Timed Text Markup Language) is an XML-based subtitle format standardized by the W3C and required by Netflix, Apple TV, and many broadcast workflows. Captions live in <p> elements with begin and end (or dur) attributes that express time either as seconds (1.500s) or as clock values (HH:MM:SS.mmm). The related ITT (iTunes Timed Text) format shares the same XML structure and is handled the same way.

Output Format

ASS

ASS (Advanced SubStation Alpha v4+) is a styled subtitle format with [Script Info], [V4+ Styles], and [Events] sections. ASS supports per-character styling via override tags, fonts, colors, alpha transparency, outlines, shadows, blur, screen positioning, vector drawing, and karaoke timing. Timing uses centisecond precision (H:MM:SS.cc).

Features

Generates a complete ASS file with [Script Info], [V4+ Styles], and [Events] sections.
Converts source timing to ASS centisecond timestamps (H:MM:SS.cc).
Applies a default style and emits Dialogue lines with Start, End, and Text fields.
Outputs UTF-8 ASS compatible with Aegisub, mpv, VLC, and libass-based players.

Why Convert?

ASS supports per-character styling, fonts, colors, outlines, shadows, blur, and screen positioning that plain formats lack.
ASS is the standard for anime fansubbing and styled subtitles rendered by libass in mpv, VLC, and FFmpeg.
Converting to ASS gives you a [V4+ Styles] section and override tags for advanced visual control.
Aegisub and other subtitle editors work natively with ASS for styling and karaoke.

Format Differences

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

Common Use Cases

Styled Subtitles

Create ASS subtitles with fonts, colors, outlines, and positioning for visually rich presentation.

Anime & Karaoke

Produce ASS files for fansubbing and karaoke workflows that rely on override tags and libass rendering.

Aegisub Editing

Generate an ASS file you can open directly in Aegisub for further styling and timing work.
