About This CUE to chapters.txt Tool

This lightweight web app converts any standard CUE sheet into a ready-to-use chapters.txt file in a single step. It is engineered for audiobook editors, podcast producers, YouTubers, and archivists who need accurate chapter markers without installing extra software. The interface is inspired by Kadence WordPress designs, delivering a clean, mobile-first layout with rounded surfaces, depth, and readable typography. Everything runs locally in your browser, so even large files convert instantly and stay private on your device.

How to Use the Converter

Paste your CUE text or drop the .cue file into the drop zone—the tool parses track numbers, titles, performers, and index timestamps automatically. Adjust chapter numbering digits and starting index to match your audiobook platform, then tap “Convert to chapters.txt.” The output preview refreshes in real time. Use the handy copy button to push the results to your clipboard, download an offline-ready chapters.txt, export the timing grid to CSV for spreadsheets, or create a shareable permalink that stores your entire configuration for teammates.

Tips for Clean Chapters

Double-check that every track in your CUE includes an INDEX 01 entry—the converter only uses index 01 markers to maintain timing accuracy. When ripping CDs, set your software to write frames at 75 fps; the converter will translate those frames to millisecond precision automatically. If performer or title tags are missing, enable the “generic titles” option so each chapter remains clearly labeled. Need collaborative edits? Generate a permalink so editors and narrators can review exact timestamps without emailing files around.

FAQs

Can I edit chapter titles before exporting? Yes—update the CUE titles directly in the input box or tweak them in the chapters preview before copying or downloading.
Does the converter support multi-disc sets? Absolutely. The script groups tracks sequentially, so drop both discs’ CUE entries into the text area and adjust the starting index if you need continuous numbering.
Will my files leave the browser? No. All processing happens on the client side, keeping your audio metadata private and compliant with offline workflows.
