Can I remove subtitles from a video I did not shoot?

Only process footage you own or have permission to edit. Removing subtitles does not grant rights to the underlying video.

Will the background be pixel-perfect?

No. The AI estimates what was hidden by the subtitles. Fine textures, faces and moving backgrounds may show artifacts or altered detail.

Does it keep the original resolution?

Output supports up to 1080p. Do not expect a 4K upload to produce a 4K result. Check the downloaded output before using it in your final edit.

What formats, length and file size are supported?

Upload MP4 or MOV files up to 60 seconds and 500MB per clip. Split a longer video into shorter clips in your editor before uploading.

How much does subtitle removal cost?

New accounts get 30 free processing seconds when they sign up, valid for 30 days. Processing uses 1 credit per second, rounded to the nearest whole second with a minimum of 1 credit per clip. Review the cost shown before starting.

Changing subtitle lines, before and after

This 8-second talking-head comparison shows two changing sample subtitle lines. Compare the captioned clip with the matching clean footage as the lines change.

Illustrative comparison: sample subtitles were added to licensed footage. The After clip is the clean source, not an AI processing result.

Which removal mode fits your subtitles?

Turn off subtitles in your player first. If the words remain in the picture, they are likely burned in. Choose the matching option below.

What you see	What to do
Separate subtitle trackA subtitle track you can switch off in the player’s CC or subtitle settings.	No AI needed Turn off the track in your player, or disable it when exporting from your editor. The video picture stays intact, and you do not need to spend processing credits.
Burned-in dialogue linesFull dialogue lines that remain visible after subtitle tracks are turned off. Also called hardcoded or burned-in subtitles.	Subtitles Use Subtitles to detect changing dialogue lines across frames and reconstruct the area behind them. You do not need to draw a box for each sentence. Check the result at line changes and cuts, where remnants or altered detail may appear.
Word-by-word captionsWords that pop on one by one, often with colors, outlines or changing positions. If they disappear when captions are disabled, no AI removal is needed.	Subtitles For captions baked into the picture, start with Subtitles mode so detection can follow the changing text across frames. Rapid pop-ons, thick outlines and detailed backgrounds can leave remnants or reconstruction artifacts. Review the full clip rather than a single frame.
Fixed text in one areaA name tag, label or subtitle line that stays within the same region for the entire clip.	Select area Draw a box around the text with Select area. The box stays in place and does not track moving words, so use Subtitles for changing dialogue lines. Keep anything you want to preserve outside the box: faces, textures and other non-text details inside it may also be rebuilt.

Before you process

Busy scenes can leave artifacts
Large text, fast motion, detailed backgrounds and rapid cuts are harder to reconstruct.
Hidden details may change
AI estimates the background; it cannot recover the original pixels. Faces and textures behind subtitles may look different.
Try a short clip first
Review the subtitle area and line changes before processing more footage.

Questions about removing burned-in subtitles

No. Switch off the subtitle track in your player or export without it from your editor. AI reconstruction is for subtitles that remain part of the picture.

Only by position. Subtitles removes every subtitle line it detects, so it cannot pick and choose. A Select area box applies to the whole clip and removes every line that appears inside it, at any moment, and non-text details inside the box may also be rebuilt. If the lines you want to keep share a spot with the ones you want gone, the tool cannot separate them; trim the clip in your editor and process only the part you need.
