Convert one file first. A folder is a different job: each caption file becomes its own .docx, and those documents are packed into one ZIP. They are not merged into a single manuscript.
Show timestampsSame checkbox for every file in the ZIP
Merge same speakerSame checkbox for every file; it does not cross files
Convert one file before you touch the folderPaste or drop a single SRT, or use Convert one file free. If that .docx opens in Word, the parser understands your captions. A folder of broken exports will not get healthier by being zipped.
Set timestamps and merge onceThose two checkboxes apply to every file in the ZIP. They do not differ per file. Turn merge off first if any file in the folder is bilingual.
Choose the caption files, not the videosBatch ZIP accepts .srt, .vtt, .ass, .ssa, and .txt. It skips a file that is empty or over the size limit instead of failing the whole ZIP. The cap is 40 files.
Expect one .docx per source fileepisode-01.srt becomes episode-01.docx inside the ZIP. Speakers are not merged across episodes. There is no “combine into one document” switch.
Keep the caption filesThe ZIP is for reading and review. Premiere, CapCut, and YouTube still want the SRT or VTT. Word does not write clocks back.
The free button loads a sample and downloads one .docx. Batch ZIP is in More on the converter, after that one-file download already works. It uses the timestamp and merge checkboxes you have set, and it does not join files together.
Searchers who type “batch SRT to Word” usually have a season, a client folder, or a day’s worth of exports.
They do not want to drop episode 12, wait, then drop episode 13. They also do not want those episodes glued
into a single scrolling document with no way to see where one file ended. The ZIP keeps the boundary: the
filename you started with, minus the extension, is the name of the .docx inside the archive.
The free path is still one file. Use Convert one file free on the converter, or drop a
single caption file and click Download .docx. If that document opens and the speakers look
right, you understand the parser. Only then point Batch ZIP at the folder. A directory of
files that are actually .sbv, or plain notes with no cues, will not become healthier because
they were selected together.
What the ZIP contains
You choose .srt, .vtt, .ass, .ssa, or .txt
files. Up to 40 of them. Each readable file is converted with the font, size, margins, timestamp checkbox,
and merge checkbox currently set on the converter. There is no per-file override in that run. If one episode
is bilingual and the rest are not, convert the bilingual file alone with merge off, and keep it out of a
merge-on batch.
A file that is empty, or larger than the same limit as a single upload, is skipped. The status line says
how many documents landed in the ZIP. It does not invent a document for a file it could not read. The
archive is named with the date, not with a client brand, unless you also set a header and footer — that
second option is part of the same folder unlock, and it writes a line on each .docx, not your
company’s .dotx template.
What it will not do
It will not concatenate episodes into one manuscript or one continuous timecode. One SubRip file from several caption files is merge subtitles.
It will not translate, resync, or strip karaoke tags beyond the flattening the ASS parser already does.
It will not upload the captions to build the Word files. The browser does that work.
It will not accept the video, a Premiere project, or a Descript project. Those are not cue files.
If the question is “should this reading copy be a PDF instead,” that choice is per document and lives on
SRT to DOCX vs PDF. Batch ZIP always writes .docx files. Print
to PDF from a single preview when a snapshot is what you needed.
Order that wastes the least time
Convert one representative file and open it in Word.
Set Show timestamps and Merge same speaker for the whole folder.
Open More → Batch ZIP and select the caption files, not the videos.
Unzip and spot-check the first, a middle, and the last document against the source filenames.
Keep the caption files. Players and editors do not import the ZIP.
One file does not need this. The folder unlock is the chip on the converter and on the pricing card.

Download the .docx
The free button loads a sample and downloads one .docx. Batch ZIP is in More on the converter, after that one-file download already works. It uses the timestamp and merge checkboxes you have set, and it does not join files together.
What the folder job produces, and what still converts as one file.
Does batch conversion merge every episode into one Word file?
No. Each caption file becomes its own .docx. The ZIP only packs those documents. Speaker merge stays inside one file, and it uses the same checkbox for every file in that run.
Can I convert one SRT without the folder unlock?
Yes. One file — paste, drop, or Convert one file free — downloads a .docx with no account. The folder path is the only step that asks for the unlock. It does not change the single-file converter.
What is the file limit, and what gets skipped?
Batch ZIP accepts up to 40 files of .srt, .vtt, .ass, .ssa, or .txt. A file that is empty or over the size limit is skipped. The others still go into the ZIP. Videos are not accepted.
Does the ZIP upload my captions?
No. Reading the files and building the .docx files happens in the browser, same as one file. Checkout, if you use it, sends the email you type for the receipt. It does not send the captions.
