Questions

What is an SBV file?

The simple caption format YouTube has long used for its own caption downloads. It is plain text: a timing line, the caption, a blank line.

Does YouTube still accept SBV?

Yes, YouTube Studio takes SBV uploads. It also takes SRT, so pick SBV when a tool or workflow asks for it.

Is anything lost in the conversion?

Only cue numbers and tags like <i>, which SBV has no room for. Text and timing stay the same.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Nothing is uploaded. The file is read and converted by your browser, on your device. It even works offline once the page has loaded.
