Does it change the date saved in the file?
No. It works on the picture only and has no setting for file dates or shooting information. The exported file is a new video, and the tool is not a forensic tool or a way to change when footage was shot.

- Source
- Processed with the same model this tool uses and edited for comparison. It is not a task submitted on this site.
- Footage
- Real driving footage from Pexels (video 8045158 by Vlada Karpovich), used under the Pexels license and cut to 9 seconds. The date and the ticking clock were added by us and are not part of the original footage.
- Model
- WaveSpeed Video Eraser, the same model this tool uses
- At this site's rate
- 9 credits at 1 credit per second for 9 seconds
- How it was made
- We added the date and clock, marked one box over their full width for the whole clip, and ran the clip through the same eraser model with the prompt "remove text". The marked box uses the model output and the rest keeps the original frame. The raw model output is kept. It was not an order placed on this site.
- Original
- The footage with "18 AUG 2024" and a clock that ticks from 14:32:56 to 14:33:04. It crosses a minute at 14:33:00. No audio track.
- Result
- The date and every clock change are removed, and the road and the edge of the windscreen behind them are rebuilt. Check the edges of the marked box while it plays.

What it does
What a video timestamp remover does
A video timestamp remover clears a date, clock or counter that was burned into the picture, such as the numbers a camcorder or dashcam prints in a corner. You box the digits and the rest of the frame is meant to stay as shot. It changes the picture only; it does not edit the date or shooting information saved in the file.
- Box the whole stamp, with its shadow and outline
- Up to three fixed areas, each with its own time range
- Play the whole clip: the digits change, so every change needs to be covered
Before you start
Video Timestamp Remover: facts and quick answers
Video Timestamp Remover takes a burned-in date, clock or counter out of a video by rebuilding the picture behind the digits. It is for numbers that are part of the picture, not for the date saved in the file information. For a name bar or label, see the lower thirds remover.
- Works on
- A date stamp, a clock or a running counter printed into a corner of the picture.
- Works best when
- The stamp sits in a corner over a calm background and keeps the same size.
- Harder when
- The digits sit over fine detail, or a strong shadow or strip surrounds them.
- Not the right tool when
- The date in the file information, or a date text layer you can still delete in an editor.
- 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
Why does the box need to cover the full width of the numbers?
A clock or counter changes digit by digit. A box that fits the first frame can miss the next one, so a trace is left behind. Box the widest state, with the colon, shadow and outline, and check the whole clip.
Compared
Dates and clocks: which one needs a remover
Several different things get called a timestamp. Only the first two are part of the picture.
| What you see | What it is | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A date in the corner | Printed into the picture when the clip was recorded. | Box it with this tool. |
| A clock or running counter | Digits that change every second inside the picture. | Box the full width the digits reach and check every change. |
| A date in the file information | Details such as the shooting or creation date, stored next to the video. | Not a picture problem. This tool does not edit it. |
| A date added by an editor | A text layer in your project. | Delete the layer and export again. No repair is needed. |
| A date with a shadow or strip | The stamp includes an outline, glow or dark band. | Include them in the box, or a faint edge stays. |

People and use cases
Date Stamps You May Want to Clear
For footage you own or may edit, when a printed date or clock no longer belongs in the new version of the clip.
Choose a videoOld travel and family clips
A camcorder date sits over the sea or the sky in a holiday clip you want to reuse. Box the date and check that the horizon stays straight.
Screen and demo recordings
A recorder printed a clock in the corner of a product walkthrough that is now out of date. Clear it before you cut the clip into a new demo.
Promo clips with an old date
A date line from last season is burned into an exported promo. Remove it, then add the new date in your editor.

Quality guide
What to Expect from a Video Timestamp Remover
Results depend on what sits behind the numbers and how the digits change. Play the whole clip before you use it. The quality guide explains what affects the result.
Easier cases
A good place to start.
- A stamp in a corner over sky, wall or road
- Plain digits in one colour
- A stamp that stays in one place
Harder cases
Plan to check these more closely.
- A stamp over fine detail such as leaves, text or faces
- Digits that change width, so the box has to be wider
- A strong shadow or a dark strip behind the numbers
Before you use the result
Look closely at these spots.
- The full width the stamp reaches, at several seconds of the clip
- The edges of your box
- That every digit change is gone, not only the first

FAQ
Video Timestamp Remover FAQ
Choose a clip, box the date or clock, set when it shows and press the remove button. You can check the result before you download it.
Use a fixed box that covers the full width the digits can reach. The tool does not read or follow the digits, so play the whole clip and check every change after processing.
No. The removal changes the picture only. The page has no setting for creation dates or shooting information, and the exported file is a new video.
It is not made for that, and it is not an evidence or forensic tool. Use it only on footage you own or may edit, and keep the original. If a date matters for a record, a claim or a case, do not alter it.
Choosing and previewing a clip is free. Each account can use up to two trial runs, each for a clip of up to 15 seconds, shared across the server-processed video removal tools and subject to human verification and usage limits. Paid runs use credits; review the estimate before submitting.
The result can fall back to removing every marked area for the whole clip, and the page says so when it happens. Read the message after processing and check the exported file before you use it.
