The Difference between SRT/ASS/SSA Subtitles

SRT, ASS and SSA subtitles are the three most commonly used subtitles.

• SRT

SRT is the abbreviation for SubRip Text. This is the simplest text subtitle format that consists of a numeric counter, the time and the subtitle text itself.

• SSA

SSA stands for SubStation Alpha. It's more powerful than SRT. It supports various colors, fonts, and other special effects.

• ASS

ASS means Advanced SubStation Alpha. It includes all the features of SSA and extension based on the original features of SSA.
