Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your web browser and the file never leaves your computer, which matters for unreleased films and client work.

What columns does the CSV have?

Number, Start, End and Text, plus a Speaker column when the file has speaker names. Times can stay in SRT style or be written as seconds, which is easier for formulas.

What happens to two-line captions?

By default the lines are joined with a space so each caption fits on one spreadsheet row. You can choose to keep the line break inside the cell instead.

Are italics and other formatting kept?

No. Tags like are removed so the Text column holds plain words, which is what translators and spell checkers expect.

Will Excel show accented letters correctly?

Yes. The CSV is saved as UTF-8 with a marker that tells Excel which encoding to use, so names like "Zoë" and non-English subtitles come through intact.

From subtitle file to spreadsheet

An SRT file lists captions as numbered blocks. In a spreadsheet each caption becomes a row:

Number	Start	End	Text
1	00:00:01,200	00:00:04,000	Where were you last night? We waited until nine.
2	00:00:04,500	00:00:06,800	The train broke down outside the city.

Why put subtitles in a spreadsheet?

Translation. Add a column for the translated text and work through the captions row by row, or send the sheet to a translator.
Review and proofreading. Sort, filter, add comments and use the spell checker.
Reading speed checks. With times in seconds, a formula like =LEN(D2)/(C2-B2) gives characters per second, which subtitle guidelines usually cap at around 15 to 20.
Search and statistics. Count lines, find every mention of a name or measure how much dialogue a scene has.
