How to Convert CapCut JSON to SRT
Step 1 — Export from CapCut
In CapCut desktop, open your project folder and locate draft_content.json. On Windows it is usually inside C:\Users\[you]\AppData\Local\CapCut\User Data\Projects.
Step 2 — Upload or Paste
Drop the JSON file into the upload area above, or open it in any text editor, select all (Ctrl+A), copy, and paste it into the text box.
Step 3 — Convert & Download
Click Generate SRT. The tool instantly reads your subtitle tracks, converts timecodes, and gives you a ready-to-download .srt file.
What Is CapCut's draft_content.json?
CapCut saves every project as a JSON file called draft_content.json. This file stores the full timeline — video clips, audio, effects, and importantly, all subtitle/text tracks. Each subtitle segment contains the spoken text and two timestamps: a start position and a duration, both measured in microseconds (millionths of a second).
This converter reads those subtitle tracks, converts microseconds to the standard HH:MM:SS,mmm format, and assembles them into a proper SRT file that any video player, editor, or streaming platform understands.
Why Export CapCut Subtitles as SRT?
📤 Upload to YouTube
YouTube accepts SRT subtitle files directly. Upload your SRT after your video to get indexed subtitles that boost discoverability.
🌍 Translate Subtitles
Once you have an SRT file you can use any translation tool to convert your subtitles into other languages and reach a global audience.
🎬 Edit in Other Software
SRT is compatible with Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, VLC, and hundreds of other tools that do not read CapCut's native format.
♿ Accessibility
SRT files can be added to embedded players to make your video content accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers.
