How to convert MKV to SRT on Windows

  1. 1

    Select your MKV files

    In File Explorer or on the desktop, select one MKV file or as many as you like. The first time, Filee offers to download FFmpeg, the free engine it uses for this conversion.

  2. 2

    Hold Ctrl and drag

    Hold Ctrl (or the key you set in Filee) and drag the files. A donut of formats opens at the cursor. Prefer menus? Right-click and choose Convert with Filee.

  3. 3

    Drop on SRT

    Release the files over SRT. A progress ring counts up, and each SRT file is saved next to its original.

What Filee does for MKV → SRT

Take the subtitles out of a film to edit or translate them. The first text subtitle track is saved as SRT; picture-based subtitles (DVD, Blu-ray) can't be turned into text. Needs the free FFmpeg engine.

  • Uses FFmpeg, a free optional engine that Filee downloads once into its own folder (about 100 MB). If FFmpeg is already on your PC, Filee uses it and nothing is downloaded.
  • The Extract subtitles preset on the video donut saves the first text subtitle track of a video as SRT.
  • Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
  • Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
  • Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.

  • MP4
