Remove burned-in text without rebuilding every frame
About Remove Text From Video
Burned-in text is text that has become part of the picture, which is why removing it is much harder than deleting a caption layer. Once subtitles, a watermark or an overlay have been rendered into the frames, the only options have traditionally been cropping, covering with a box, or reconstructing the obscured region frame by frame. This tool removes it across the whole frame and, importantly, does so as a background job: you start the process and leave, returning from a dashboard rather than holding a browser tab open for the duration.
The site is repeatedly explicit that clips should be authorised, which is the right position for a tool of this kind: removing text from your own footage is routine editing, while removing someone else's watermark is not, and being upfront about that is more responsible than staying silent. Processing is metered at one credit per second of video with a 50MB clip limit in auto mode, so cost is directly predictable from clip length. Video is only sent to the processing provider once the job actually starts. The free tier gives 20 credits valid for 30 days, enough to test one short clip properly before choosing a plan.
Upload an authorised clip, up to 50MB in auto mode, and start the job. Because processing is asynchronous, you can leave the page and return from your dashboard rather than waiting, which matters since frame-by-frame work on video is not instant. The workflow handles several kinds of unwanted writing in one pass rather than requiring separate passes for subtitles, watermarks and overlays, since a single clip commonly contains more than one. Credits deduct at one per second of video, so a thirty second clip costs thirty credits and the cost of a job is known before starting. Your video is only transmitted to the provider once processing begins.

For editors and creators working with their own footage that has captions or overlays burned in, which happens constantly when repurposing content between platforms that each want different text treatment. It suits anyone reusing archive material where the original text is now wrong, and creators localising video that has hardcoded subtitles in another language. The per-second pricing suits short-form work particularly well. The authorisation framing is worth taking seriously: removing a watermark from someone else's work is not what this is for.
