    Save your converted LRC file. The server copy is automatically deleted after processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Files are uploaded over HTTPS and automatically deleted from the server after the LRC is ready for download.

LRC timestamps use [MM:SS.xx] centisecond precision. DFXP timestamps (HH:MM:SS.mmm) are converted to this format, rounding to the nearest centisecond.

Subtitle files are plain text. The 50 MB server limit is not a concern for DFXP files.

Yes. ChangeThisFile supports LRC to DFXP conversion for round-tripping between formats.

The converter requires well-formed XML. DFXP files with encoding errors or broken XML may fail. Fix XML errors with an XML editor before converting.

Multi-line p elements in DFXP are joined with a space or newline in the LRC output. Each p element's start timestamp becomes the LRC line timestamp.
