Convert AIFF to an SRT subtitle file

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is the lossless audio format native to macOS and older Apple tools. It is common in professional audio production, Logic Pro exports, and archival recordings. SnailText decodes the AIFF audio using a one-time codec pack, transcribes the speech with the Whisper model, and writes a phrase-level SRT, all on your machine.

Lossless input gives Whisper clean audio. You get a standard .srt file ready to use in any subtitle editor or video player.

How to convert AIFF to SRT

  1. Open the Transcribe files screen in SnailText.
  2. Add your AIFF audio file (or a folder of them).
  3. Choose SRT as the output before you run it.
  4. Run it. The .srt file is saved next to your audio.

AIFF to SRT free, without uploading the file

Online AIFF-to-SRT tools upload your audio to a server. SnailText does it locally: the file stays on your machine, there is no length limit, and the free tier has no watermark. AIFF uses a one-time codec pack the app downloads for you, then runs offline.

If you only want the plain transcript of an AIFF rather than a subtitle file, the AIFF to text page covers that. If you need VTT instead of SRT, the AIFF to VTT page covers that.

AIFF to SRT FAQ

How do I convert an AIFF file to SRT?
Install SnailText, open Transcribe files, add your AIFF, choose SRT as the output, and run it. It generates the SRT locally. AIFF uses a one-time codec pack the app downloads for you, then the transcription runs offline.
What is AIFF and can SnailText transcribe it?
AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is the lossless audio format native to macOS and Apple tools. SnailText decodes AIFF and writes an SRT with phrase-level timing, all locally, with no upload.
What is the difference between AIFF to SRT and AIFF to text?
AIFF to SRT produces a timed subtitle file (.srt) with start and end times per phrase. AIFF to text produces a plain transcript with no timestamps. SnailText does both, you just pick the output before the run.
Does SnailText burn the subtitles into the video when I use AIFF to SRT?
No. SnailText writes a separate SRT and VTT file and does not hardcode captions into the video. That keeps the subtitles editable and lets you attach them in any player or editor. If you want them burned in, overlay the file in a video editor afterward.
