Remove Text from Video
Describe the text, subtitles, captions, watermarks, or logos you want removed from your video, and get back clean footage with the underlying visuals intelligently restored. No editing software needed. Free to start.
How it works
Upload Your Video
Upload the video clip containing the text, captions, watermark, or logo you want removed. Works with common video formats including MP4, MOV, and more.
Describe What to Remove
Tell the agent exactly what you want taken out — where on screen it appears, what it looks like, and whether it shows up throughout the video or only at certain moments.
The Agent Processes Each Frame
The AI analyzes your video frame by frame, detects the specified text or overlay, removes it, and intelligently restores the background footage underneath using the surrounding visual context.
Download Your Clean Video
Receive your processed video with the unwanted text or watermark removed. Review the result and, if needed, refine your description and run it again for improved accuracy.
Who is this for
Content Creators & Video Editors
Repurpose or reuse footage that has hardcoded captions, old branding, or channel watermarks baked in — without spending hours in frame-by-frame editing software.
Marketers & Social Media Teams
Clean up promotional video assets that carry outdated text overlays, campaign-specific watermarks, or subtitle burns before republishing across new channels or platforms.
Businesses & Archive Teams
Remove timestamps, date stamps, or legacy branding from security footage, archived recordings, or older corporate videos to produce clean, reusable assets.
Six prompt-engineering tips that move the needle
Small changes in how you write a prompt make the biggest difference in output.
Specify the Exact Screen Position
Describe where the text sits — bottom center, top-right corner, lower-left — rather than just saying 'there's some text.' Position is one of the most useful signals the agent has for accurate targeting.
Describe the Visual Style of the Text
Mention the color, size, and style if you can (e.g., 'white bold sans-serif subtitles' or 'small yellow italic username'). This helps distinguish the target element from other text that should be left alone.
Note When It Appears
Tell the agent whether the text is present throughout the whole video or only during specific segments — for example, 'the watermark appears for the entire duration' versus 'the lower-third title card only shows in the first 5 seconds.'
List Multiple Elements Separately
If you need several things removed — say, subtitles AND a watermark — list each one on its own line with its own description. Bundling them clearly helps the agent treat each removal as a distinct task.
Mention the Background Behind the Text
If you know whether the text sits over a plain color, a moving scene, or a busy background, include that detail. It sets realistic expectations and helps the agent choose the most appropriate restoration method.
Clarify What Should Stay Untouched
If your video has text or graphics you want to keep, say so explicitly — for example, 'remove only the bottom subtitle bar, leave the top-left logo intact.' This prevents the agent from over-removing elements you still need.
What to expect
For most clips, the tool can cleanly remove static or slow-moving text overlays — subtitles, watermarks, timestamps, and logos — especially when the background behind them is relatively uniform or simple. Restoration quality is typically strongest on plain-color backgrounds or gently blurred backgrounds. On footage with detailed moving scenes directly behind the text (e.g., fast action, busy crowd scenes, or highly textured surfaces), you may see some blurring, smearing, or slight color mismatch in the restored area. Semi-transparent watermarks are usually removable but may leave faint residual artifacts depending on opacity. Processing time scales with video length and resolution.
Example: A 60-second product demo video had a semi-transparent agency watermark in the top-right corner and hardcoded white subtitles along the bottom throughout. The prompt described both elements with their positions and colors. The output video returned clean footage with the corner watermark fully removed and the subtitle bar replaced with restored background — the lower portion of the video, which showed a plain white surface, reconstructed seamlessly. A small area around the former watermark showed very slight softening, which was barely noticeable at normal playback speed.
Good to know
- Text that covers a large portion of the frame or overlaps with complex, fast-moving foreground subjects is harder to restore cleanly — expect visible patching or blurring in those zones rather than a pixel-perfect reconstruction.
- Highly animated or rapidly scrolling text (such as live-broadcast tickers with constant motion) may produce inconsistent frame-to-frame results, since each frame presents a slightly different removal challenge.
- The tool reconstructs what it estimates is underneath the text based on surrounding visual context — it cannot recover information that was genuinely hidden or obscured, so on extremely opaque overlays covering important detail, some loss of underlying content is possible.
Frequently asked questions
Can this tool remove text that's burned directly into the video frames?
Yes, the tool is designed to handle hardcoded text — text that's baked into the actual frames rather than existing as a separate subtitle track. Results are typically strong for text on plain or simple backgrounds, though complex or textured backgrounds behind the text may show some visible restoration artifacts.
Will the area where the text was look natural after removal?
In most cases the background is reconstructed to blend with the surrounding footage, especially when the background is relatively simple. Videos with busy, moving, or highly detailed scenes behind the text may produce less seamless results — some patching or blurring in those zones is possible.
What kinds of text elements can I remove?
You can typically remove subtitles, captions, watermarks, logos, timestamps, date overlays, channel names, social media handles, news tickers, and other on-screen text or graphic overlays. Describe what you see as specifically as possible for the best outcome.
Does the tool work on moving or animated text overlays?
It can handle many animated overlays such as scrolling tickers or fading text, but results vary more with fast-moving elements. Static or slow-moving text tends to produce cleaner restoration than rapidly animated graphics.
How should I describe the text I want removed to get the best results?
Include the position (bottom center, top-right corner, etc.), the color and style of the text if you know it, and whether it appears throughout the whole video or only during certain moments. The more context you provide, the more precisely the agent can target the right elements.
Can I remove a watermark or logo that has a transparent or semi-transparent background?
Semi-transparent watermarks and logos are typically within scope. Full removal depends on how much of the background is obscured — lightly transparent overlays on simple backgrounds tend to restore most cleanly.
Is the original video affected or stored permanently?
The tool processes your video to produce a cleaned output version. Your original file is not permanently altered by the process. Review the platform's data and retention policy for specifics on how uploaded files are handled.
