Questions

Will positioning and styling carry over?

SRT has no positioning, so cue settings like position and alignment are dropped. Italic and bold tags are kept unless you strip them.

Is my subtitle file uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser reads and fixes the file on your own computer. Nothing is sent to a server, so private files are fine, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
