What happens when converting TXT to LRC?

Plain Text content is parsed into a unified millisecond timeline before being exported as LyRiCs. Valid timing and subtitle text are preserved.

LRC output stores only each subtitle's start time because the format does not support end times.

TXT has no timeline, so every non-empty text line is assigned five seconds by default.

About TXT and LRC subtitle formats

Source file format

TXT · Plain Text

TXT is a plain-text file rather than a dedicated subtitle format with a standardized timeline. It usually stores subtitle, dialogue, or lyric text without information about when each line appears.

File structure: TXT has no fixed subtitle syntax and generally contains one or more lines of text. Individual files may include paragraphs, speaker names, or other manually arranged information.
Common uses: TXT is commonly used for video transcripts, dialogue editing, translation and proofreading, lyric extraction, and passing subtitle content to text-processing or AI tools.
Conversion notes: Exporting to TXT removes every timestamp. When converting TXT to a timed subtitle format, this tool treats each non-empty line as one cue and assigns it five seconds by default.

Target file format

LRC · LyRiCs

LRC, short for LyRiCs, is a synchronized lyrics format. A timestamp before each lyric line lets music players reveal lyrics as a song progresses.

File structure: A typical LRC line uses a [minutes:seconds.fraction] lyric-text structure. Files may also contain title, artist, album, and offset metadata, and one line can carry multiple timestamps.
Common uses: LRC is commonly used by music players, desktop lyrics displays, mobile music apps, karaoke lyrics, and tools for creating synchronized song lyrics.
Conversion notes: Standard LRC normally stores only the start time of each lyric line. When converting to a subtitle format, an end time must be inferred from the next valid lyric timestamp.
