When Do You Need to Convert VTT to SRT?
WebVTT is a web format, and most desktop players, TVs, streaming boxes and video platforms expect SRT instead. Converting VTT to SRT is what you do to use web captions with ordinary video software.
What Happens When You Convert VTT to SRT
The formats are closely related, both holding sequential timed cues, so the conversion is mostly a matter of syntax. The WEBVTT header is removed, the milliseconds separator changes from a full stop to a comma, and cues are numbered sequentially, which SRT requires. What does not survive is anything WebVTT adds: cue positioning, alignment, styling and any region definitions have no SRT equivalent and are dropped, since SRT holds timing and text only.
Worth knowing before you convert
A .vtt file is WebVTT, which is what this reads. Both spellings refer to the same format.

Conversion Notes

Format-specific features with no equivalent in the target — proprietary metadata, platform-specific extensions, or advanced layout instructions — are omitted from the output file.
