Are there any apps which can transform from .vtt to .srt format? I tried subtitleeditor which doesn't have support for .vtt. If anybody does know of any specific app which can be used to do the same, please share.

You can use FFmpeg for this:
ffmpeg -i file.vtt file.srt

Doesn't work for me. I checked my VTT file against a validator and it's valid -- this command just spits out an empty SRT file. "Output file is empty, nothing was encoded (check -ss / -t / -frames parameters if used)". ffmpeg version n6.0. – Victor Zamanian Jul 17 '23 at 19:10

With subconv you can do it. To install it, execute the following commands in a command prompt or terminal window:
git clone https://github.com/Smile4ever/subconv
cd subconv
npm update
npm install
To use:
node index.js -f srt file.vtt > file.srt
You will need to install Node.js. The installation steps for Node.js are different for every platform, but the general rule is:
- Windows: download the installer from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- Mac: download the installer from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- Linux: download and install the package from the repositories.

I will have to check it, currently having issues with nodejs (there is a transition thing happening in Debian to make it current with nodejs upstream), unless that is not done, wouldn't be able to use nodejs. I have ancient nodejs 10 :( – shirish Jan 06 '20 at 12:27
