How an LRC line becomes a cue

A lyric line starts with a clock in square brackets, then the words. [00:15.40] is 15 seconds and 40 centiseconds. Three digits after the dot are milliseconds. [mm:ss:xx] with a second colon and two digits is also centiseconds. [h:mm:ss.xx] includes hours. Tags such as [ti:], [ar:], [al:], and [by:] are not cues.

LRC stores a start time only. The SRT end time is the next lyric’s start. The last line uses the median gap between the earlier lines, kept between 1 and 7 seconds. A single line lasts 3 seconds. An [offset:] value, in milliseconds, is added to every start before those ends are calculated.

A line that lists two clocks, [00:12.00][00:48.00], becomes two cues with the same words. Word-level marks such as <00:12.40> are removed and the words stay. To turn the SRT into Word, use the SRT to Word converter.

LRC questions

Clocks, empty lines, and the file this page accepts.

What if a timestamp has no lyric?

That line is skipped. An empty stamp does not become an empty subtitle cue.

What if the file is already an SRT or a VTT?

It is rejected. This page reads LRC text, including a .lrc file or a .txt that uses the same lyric clocks.

Are the lyrics uploaded?

No. Parsing and the .srt are built in your browser. See the Privacy Policy.

Can the minutes field pass 59?

Yes. In LRC the first number is minutes and may be 60 or more. [61:00.00] is written in the SRT as 01:01:00,000.
