Remove Text from Video Online

Remove text from video, including hardcoded captions, subtitles, logos, and authorized watermarks. Draw and adjust up to three areas on a free account and up to ten with a paid plan while preserving the original framing.

A Cleaner Video, Without Starting Over

You should not have to crop the frame, cover the text with a sticker, or rebuild an entire edit because one overlay is wrong. RemoveText.video helps you remove text from video while keeping the footage, timing, and composition you already have.

Upload your clip, choose what needs to disappear, and review the selected area before processing. The tool reconstructs the covered region across the video so you can create a cleaner version for your next edit.

Remove Unwanted Elements from Your Video

  1. Hardcoded text, such as dates, labels, titles, timestamps, and other wording baked into the video frames.
  2. Creator captions or social-media text before fixing a typo, changing the style, or preparing a new version: remove captions from video
  3. Hardcoded subtitles before adding a new language or creating a clean master: remove burned-in subtitles from video
  4. Old logos, internal review marks, and authorized watermark overlays. Remove watermark from video
  5. Need a silent version for a new soundtrack? Remove the entire audio track in your browser without uploading the clip: remove audio from video

How to Remove Text from Video

  1. Choose an MP4, MOV or WebM file. Selecting it creates a local browser preview and does not start an upload.
  2. Choose Text or Watermark, then draw boxes over the areas you want to remove. Adjust each box before processing. Free accounts can select up to three areas, and paid plans include up to ten.
  3. Review the selected area, original dimensions, and estimated credit cost. Sign in when needed, start processing, then inspect and download the finished video.

Select Exactly What You Want to Remove

Draw a box around each text or watermark area in the video preview, then move or resize the boxes as needed. Free accounts can select up to three areas, while paid plans include up to ten. Review every area before spending credits.

For moving text or watermarks, preview the whole clip and make sure the selected areas cover the full path. Larger selections may affect nearby detail and make background reconstruction harder.

Clean the Frame Without Cropping It

Cropping can remove the text, but it can also cut off faces, products, subtitles, or important parts of the scene. RemoveText.video repairs the selected pixels while preserving the original framing of your clip.

Clear backgrounds and fixed overlays are generally easier to rebuild than fast motion, hands, faces, reflections, or fine textures. Review the complete output before publishing.

Preview Locally. Upload Only When You’re Ready.

Selecting a file creates a local browser preview. Draw and adjust the areas you want to remove before processing. Upload begins only after you confirm the processing details and choose Process.

Original videos are retained for up to 7 days. Free-trial outputs are retained for up to 7 days, and paid outputs for up to 30 days, according to the current retention controls.

Start with a Free Trial

After Google sign-in, you receive 20 lifetime trial credits. Free accounts can process original-dimension videos with a source short side up to 1080p; paid accounts can process up to 4K. Trial credits do not reset monthly and do not include batch processing.

For a 240p to 720p source short side, Text, Subtitle, Caption, and Advanced Logo or Watermark cleanup use 1 credit per second. A 721p to 1080p source uses 2 credits per second, a 1081p to 1440p source uses 4, and a 1441p to 2160p source uses 6. Basic Logo or Watermark cleanup uses half the applicable rate. You will see the estimate before processing begins.

Footage Credits and Licensing

RemoveText.video is a browser-led tool for cleaning fixed text, captions, logos and watermarks from authorized footage. These controlled comparisons use licensed real-world footage. The After videos are actual cleanup outputs, not the clean source clips.

Frequently asked questions

What is a video text remover?

A video text remover removes unwanted text or overlays inside the areas you select and reconstructs the background in each frame. It is designed for content that is part of the video image.

Can I remove text from video online for free?

Eligible new accounts can receive 20 one-time trial credits after Google sign-in, with no payment card required. These credits let you try real processing; they do not renew daily. Free accounts can process videos at their original dimensions with a source short side up to 1080p.

Can I preview the cleanup before buying credits?

Yes. When your balance does not cover the full video and a preview is available, select a representative segment and mark the area to clean. Adjust the segment from 0.5 to 5 seconds, depending on your available credits and video. Only that segment is processed, and you can compare the original with the cleaned result before deciding whether to buy more credits.

Does the short preview use credits, and can I repeat it?

The preview uses your existing credit balance; it does not add extra free credits. Check the displayed credit estimate before starting. Each account can have one preview in progress or one successful preview. If processing fails, the held credits are returned and you can retry.

What happens after I preview my video?

You can return to the full video with your original file and cleanup selections preserved in the browser. Full-video processing is a separate job with its own credit quote; preview credits are not deducted from that quote. Buy more credits if needed, then confirm full-video processing. A short preview helps you assess that segment, but results elsewhere in the video may differ.

Can it remove burned-in captions and subtitles?

Yes. Choose Caption or Subtitle mode when the words are embedded in the picture. If they are a separate track that can be switched off, remove or hide that track in your player or editor instead.

Can it remove moving text?

Moving text can be removed only where it stays inside your selected areas. Preview the whole clip and make sure the selection covers its full path. A larger area can affect nearby detail and make the repair harder. Review the complete result.

Will removing text blur the video?

Text, Subtitle, and Caption cleanup reconstruct the selected area rather than adding a blur layer. Basic Logo or Watermark cleanup intentionally softens the area, while Advanced cleanup attempts a more natural repair. Results vary with motion and background detail.

What video formats are supported?

You can upload MP4, MOV, and WebM videos. The source duration and resolution are checked before processing.

Do I need to sign in before uploading a video?

No. You can select a video, watch the original, and mark cleanup areas locally without signing in. Google sign-in is required to process a cleaned preview or the full video. Upload begins only after you confirm that processing.

Can I remove a watermark or logo from any video?

Only remove a watermark or logo from a video you own or have permission to edit. Do not remove ownership, attribution, provenance, safety, or legally required disclosure marks.
