Sample SRT File — Download a Subtitle Test File
SubRip subtitle file · .srt · MIME type application/x-subrip
Download a sample SRT file — the SubRip format that VLC, YouTube, Premiere and nearly every player accept. It contains four cues with sequence numbers, comma-millisecond timestamps, a two-line cue and accented characters, timed to the first ten seconds of our sample videos.
Load it alongside any of our MP4 or WebM clips to test subtitle rendering, encoding handling and SRT → WebVTT conversion.

Frequently asked questions
SRT or VTT for the web?
Browsers' <track> element requires WebVTT; SRT is not supported natively. Convert SRT to VTT (the differences are minimal) — we provide both so you can compare.
Are these SRT files safe to download?
Yes. Every file is generated by our own open script from scratch — nothing is scraped or user-uploaded — and contains no scripts, macros or executables. The SHA-256 of each file is published on this page so you can verify what you received.
Can I use the sample SRT files commercially?
Yes. They are free for any purpose, including commercial products, test suites, demos and redistribution, with no attribution required. There is nothing to license and no one to ask.
Can I hotlink these files or use them in CI?
Yes. Every link is a stable direct URL over HTTPS with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * and long cache headers, so curl, wget, fetch() and test runners can pull them directly. A JSON index of every file is linked from each page (see the command-line section).

Uploads, conversions, previews, document processing and media workflows are the kind of production systems Pine & Birch designs and runs for clients — which is why we needed these files in the first place.
