Convert ZIP to SRT

Understanding ZIP and SRT file formats

ZIP is a widely-used file format for compressing and archiving multiple files into a single package. It reduces file size and makes it easier to transfer or store data. SRT, or SubRip Subtitle, is a plain-text file format used for storing subtitles. It contains the start and end timecodes for each subtitle, along with the subtitle text.
