More examples of on-screen text removal
Subtitles are one kind of text on a frame. These samples show a caption bar, a sticker title and a lower third.
Sticker title
Remove a sticker title from a short video
A pink sticker title sits over the top corner of a kitchen clip. Removing it gives the clean clip back for a new edit.
Lower third
Remove a lower third from a clip
A small text card sits at the lower right of a skincare clip. The face and the product stay as they are.
These sample images show typical before and after looks. They were not made with this site.
What it does
What a video subtitle remover does
A video subtitle remover is made to take burned-in subtitles out of a clip and rebuild the picture behind them. Burned-in subtitles are part of the picture, so you box their area. The rest of the frame is meant to stay as shot.
- Box the subtitle area, with its outline and shadow
- Up to three fixed areas, each with its own time range
- Play the whole clip before you use it
Before you start
Video Subtitle Remover: facts and quick answers
Video Subtitle Remover takes burned-in subtitles out of a video: you mark where the text sits and the picture behind it is rebuilt. It is for subtitles that are part of the picture, not for a subtitle track you can switch off.
- Works on
- Text that is part of the picture and follows speech, usually near the bottom of the frame.
- Works best when
- The text is plain, a single color and sits on a calm background.
- Harder when
- Text has an outline or a box, sits on a busy scene, or changes position during the clip.
- Not the right tool when
- The subtitles can be switched off in the player. That is a separate track and needs no picture repair.
- Today
- Choose a clip, set up the removal and submit it for processing. Your video is uploaded only when you press the remove button.

Quick answers
Can I just turn the subtitles off in my player?
Try the CC or subtitle button first. If the text goes away, it was a separate track and you can switch it off or delete the track. If the text stays on screen, it is burned into the picture, and only then do you need a tool like this. The hardcoded subtitle guide shows how to tell.
Should I use the subtitle page or the caption page?
Use this page for lines that follow what people are saying. Use the caption page for text bars that label or explain a scene, such as a key takeaway. If you are not sure, start here; the marking works the same way.
Compared
Ways to get rid of burned-in subtitles, compared
Subtitles that are a separate track can be switched off. Subtitles burned into the picture cannot, so you have a few choices and each has a cost.
| Way to do it | What happens | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Turn off the subtitle track | Works only for soft subtitles, which are a separate track in the file. The picture is untouched. | If the text stays after you switch it off, it is burned in and this does not help. |
| Crop the frame | Cuts the strip with the text off the video. | You lose that part of the picture, and the new shape may not fit your platform. |
| Cover with a bar or blur | Hides the text behind a solid box or a blur. | The cover is easy to see, and a blur can still show the shape of the letters. |
| Export again from the source project | Exports the edit again without the subtitle layer. | Needs the original project files, which you often do not have. |
| Rebuild the picture (this site's tool) | You mark where the text is and the picture behind it is filled in. | Busy backgrounds and outlined text are harder, so check the result. |

FAQ
Video Subtitle Remover FAQ
Choose a clip, box the subtitle area and press the remove button. The clip is processed and you can check the result before you download it.
Hard subtitles are burned into the picture, so you mark their area. Soft subtitles are a separate track, such as SRT or VTT, and can be switched off or deleted in a player or editor.
Place a box around only the line you want removed. Up to three boxes can have separate time ranges. Closely spaced lines may still affect one another, so check the result.
Use up to three fixed boxes with separate time ranges when subtitles change position. A box does not follow continuously moving text; check each transition and the full result.
