Remove subtitles from video
Two kinds of subtitles look identical on screen and need opposite fixes. Check which you have, then clear burned-in ones here with one rectangle — no blur, no watermark, same resolution out.
Check which kind of subtitles you have first
Open the clip in any player and look for a subtitle or CC toggle. If the text disappears when you switch it off, the subtitles are a separate track sitting alongside the video. Nothing needs to be rebuilt: the track is a detachable file, and remuxing the container drops it in seconds without re-encoding a single frame. This tool is the wrong one for that job, and it is worth saying so plainly rather than taking your upload.
If the text stays on screen with every toggle off, it is hardcoded — rendered into the picture when the file was exported, and now part of the image itself. No player setting will reach it. The only way back is to rebuild the pixels the text covers, frame by frame, from the footage around it. That is what happens here. Subtitles are the easy case for this, because they sit in a fixed band and the area behind them stays fairly consistent from frame to frame.
How it works
- 1Confirm they are hardcoded — Switch subtitles off in your player. If the text is still there, it is burned into the picture and belongs here.
- 2Upload the clip — MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 500 MB and 90 seconds. It runs in the browser — there is nothing to install.
- 3Cover the subtitle band — Drag one rectangle across the full width the subtitles use. Mark the band, not the individual lines.
- 4Export at full quality — The band is rebuilt across every frame. Same resolution, same bitrate, and nothing added in the corner.
