I will try to assist you using the information you have posted; but in the future, please describe your issue with as much detail as possible in order to make it easier for people to help you.

gbaconv-web is designed to only convert libretro VBA's srm files. I believe the file you have is not a libretro VBA srm file, but a different kind of file that is also named srm by coincidence.

The reason I believe this is because all libretro VBA srm files have a length of 139264 bytes. Your file has a length of 131072 bytes.

I think your file may already be in the standard .sav format, just with a different file extension on its name.
Please try to take your .srm file and rename it to change the file extension to .sav, then see if it works in whatever flashcart or emulator or save file editor you were initially trying to use.

If it doesn't work, then please tell me where you obtained your .srm file.

I got it off of webretro by binbashbanana

I have confirmed that taking the srm file from webretro (mGBA core) and renaming it to .sav allows the file to be loaded into emulators that use the standard sav format. There is no need to use gbaconv-web for these webretro files.
