How to Sync Subtitles Online
Shifting happens right on this page. No account, no app, no waiting.
01
Upload a Subtitle File
Drop in the file with the timing problem. All 7 supported formats work, from SRT and VTT to broadcast formats like SCC.
02
Set the Offset and Download
Enter a positive number if the subtitles run early, a negative one if they run late, and download the resynced file. The shift applies to every line at once.
Synced Subtitles Are Just the Start
The same platform generates subtitles from any video, edits the text and styling, and translates the track into 125+ languages. Whatever the subtitles need next, it happens here.
Why Maestra
Adjust Subtitle Timing in One Move
Whether the subtitles run early or late, one offset brings the whole file back in sync.

Subtitle Shifter FAQs
Offsets, formats, and how syncing subtitles actually works.
How do I fix out of sync subtitles?
Upload the subtitle file, enter how many seconds it runs early or late, and download the corrected version. The shift applies to the whole file at once, so a subtitle that was three seconds behind at the start is fixed everywhere.
What does the offset value mean?
The offset is the amount of time every subtitle moves. A positive value delays subtitles, useful when they appear too early, and a negative value pulls them forward, for when they lag behind the audio.
How do I know how many seconds to shift?
Play the video and pause on the first clearly spoken line. Compare the time it's spoken with the time the subtitle appears, and that difference is your offset. One test is usually enough, since the same gap applies to the whole file.
What if the subtitles drift further out of sync over time?
A single offset can't fix drift, that usually means the subtitles were made for a different frame rate or cut of the video. Open the file in the subtitle editor instead and retime the lines where the drift becomes noticeable.
Is the subtitle shifter free?
Fully free, with no signup and no fee at any step. Upload, shift, and download on this page.
Which subtitle formats can I shift?
All 7 supported formats: SRT, VTT, TXT, SBV, plus the broadcast formats SCC, STL, and CAP. The shifted file downloads in the same format you uploaded.
Can I sync subtitles in VLC instead?
VLC can shift subtitles during playback with the G and H keys, but the change disappears when you close the player, it never touches the file. To fix the file itself, permanently and for any player, shift it here.
