What is a DFXP file?
DFXP (Distribution Format Exchange Profile) is a profile of TTML — an XML-based timed-text format built for distribution and interchange. Cues are stored as timed elements with begin and end attributes, plus optional styling. You will meet it as a delivery and interchange format in streaming and captioning pipelines, usually carrying a .dfxp or .xml extension. If your file is XML with timed paragraph elements inside a timed-text document, this is the format you are holding.
<tt xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/ttml">
<body>
<div>
<p begin="00:00:01.000" end="00:00:03.500">Hello from a DFXP cue.</p>
</div>

What is SRT?
SRT (SubRip Text) is the most widely supported subtitle format: numbered cues, start and end timestamps, plain text. It has no styling model — which is why converting is the moment to decide what the text should say, not what it should look like.
Why convert DFXP to SRT?
- Universal playback — players and editors read SRT out of the box; DFXP usually needs dedicated tooling.
- Easy edits — plain text opens anywhere; XML requires care not to break the markup.
- Pipeline hand-offs — teams downstream of a timed-text delivery almost always ask for SRT.
Got the SRT, but something is still off?
Conversion extracts text and timing — it cannot repair overlapping cues, encoding mismatches or junk tags that were already in the source.

Is DFXP the same as TTML?
DFXP is a profile of TTML — a defined subset aimed at distribution. If your file declares a TTML namespace, the TTML to SRT converter handles it too.
What happens to styling like italics and colors?
SRT has no styling model, so styling does not carry over — text and timing do. The output is clean, readable cues with no markup fragments.
My file has an .xml extension instead of .dfxp. Will it work?
Yes. The extension is a hint, not a rule — what matters is the timed-text structure inside the file.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Free, and no account — conversion works without sign-up. Fair-use limits keep the service fast for everyone.
