Before processing large files
On phones and tablets, start with files under 20 MiB and keep this tab in the foreground. Video, OCR and 3D operations can use several times the input size in memory. Desktop browsers generally have more room, but the 128 MiB job limit is not a guarantee that every file will fit. Smaller batches reduce memory pressure.
Supported input formats
- Advanced SubStation Alpha subtitles (.ass)
- SubStation Alpha subtitles (.ssa)

About this conversion
Is ass to txt free?
Yes. This tool runs on your device without an account or a conversion fee.
Are files uploaded during conversion?
File processing happens locally in your browser. Engines may download their code on first use; your input files are not sent to a conversion server. Read how file privacy works.
What if conversion fails?
Check that the file matches a supported input, review the engine’s limitations and try a smaller representative file. If the engine cannot load, check its engine assets and browser requirements. The app reports failures without switching to a remote converter.
