Common questions about converting to SMI
Is converting to SMI safe with MConverter?
For cloud-based conversions, MConverter encrypts your files using the latest technologies, such as TLS 1.3 and HSTS. They are transmitted securely to our cloud service provider’s EU-based data center, which holds internationally recognized ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications. There, each conversion is processed in a separate, isolated environment. This technique further reduces the risk of a malicious file impacting other conversions. Four hours after the conversion is complete, your files are automatically deleted from MConverter’s systems. You can also permanently delete your files immediately after finishing the conversion with the trash icon. When converting on-device, your files never leave your device. MConverter processes them locally. Note: on-device conversions are not yet available for some hardware-intensive formats. For both cloud and on-device conversions, your files are never scanned or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Join thousands who have trusted MConverter to process over 20,519,763 files so far.
Can I convert to SMI in bulk?
Yes, MConverter supports batch converting to SMI. You can even drag and drop folders to convert to SMI. Pasting files and folders copied in the clipboard also works: use Ctrl+V.
Can I convert a file to SMI, if its size is 10 GB?
Yes, with MConverter Max you can convert big files, up to 10 gigabytes each. The free version lets you convert files up to 100 MB. If you need to convert files over 100 megabytes to SMI, try MConverter Max. If your files aren’t over 1 GB, then you can use MConverter Plus instead, as it’s cheaper.
How long does it take to convert a file to SMI?
For most files with subtitles, the wait is just one or two seconds. However, MConverter also supports converting larger files with subtitles, meaning that it could take a while (up to over an hour, for example).

Format description
SAMI is short for Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange. Developed in the late 90s by Microsoft, SMI or SAMI files were an accessibility initiative by the company. Such files contain subtitles with formatting, extended from HTML. In other words, subtitle text in the SAMI format can be bolded, italicized, underlined, colored, and more. SAMI files are used along with video files as closed captions.
