Convert PJS to TXT

Understanding the pjs and txt file formats

PJS files are subtitle files used primarily by Phoenix Japanimation Society's subtitle editor. They contain time-coded text for displaying subtitles alongside video content. TXT files, on the other hand, are simple plain text files that can be opened and edited with any text editor. Converting PJS to TXT is useful if you want to extract subtitle text for editing, translation, or other purposes.

Why convert pjs to txt?

Converting PJS subtitle files to TXT format allows you to easily access and manipulate the subtitle content without the time codes or formatting. This is helpful for translation, script editing, or simply reading the subtitles as plain text.

There are several ways to convert PJS files to TXT format:

• Manual extraction: Open the PJS file in a text editor and manually remove the time codes and formatting, leaving only the subtitle text.
• Subtitle Edit: Use Subtitle Edit, a free and powerful subtitle editor. Open your PJS file, then use File → Export → Plain text to save the subtitles as a TXT file.
• Online converters: Some online tools can convert subtitle files. Search for "PJS to TXT online converter" and upload your file, but be cautious with sensitive content.
