// FAQ
What timestamp formats does this tool support?
It supports 7+ timestamp formats including HH:MM:SS.mmm, MM:SS, SRT/VTT timestamp lines with arrows (-->), bracket-wrapped [00:01], parenthesis-wrapped (00:01), and full range formats.
Does this work with YouTube transcripts?
Yes. Copy the transcript from YouTube's transcript panel and paste it here. The tool will detect and remove all timestamp formats automatically.
Will this remove content that looks like timestamps mid-sentence?
The tool uses pattern matching that targets standalone timestamps. However, for best results, review the output for any false positives, especially with text containing colon-separated numbers.
Can I process SRT and VTT files?
Yes. Paste the raw contents of any .srt or .vtt file. The tool removes sequence numbers, full timestamp lines, and cleans the output.
