RemoveSubs（https://removesubs.com/）是一款基于 An AI video text removal tool, whose main purpose is to remove burned-in subtitles, hardcoded subtitles, social media captions, timestamps, titles, labels, and text overlays from video footage. It is officially positioned as "keep the scene, remove the subtitles."
Main capabilities
- Remove burned-in/hardcoded subtitles: These subtitles are part of the video image itself, remain visible after turning off CC, and cannot be disabled as a separate subtitle track. RemoveSubs automatically detects visible text and reconstructs the areas it covers.
- Handle other visible text: The official description says it can handle visible timestamps, titles, labels, and text overlays. Large or overlapping text may leave artifacts.
- No cropping of the frame: Unlike cropping out part of the image or manually editing frame by frame, the AI uses the surrounding visual context to estimate the areas obscured by text while preserving the original framing.
- Automatic processing: No frame-by-frame editing is needed; processing happens automatically after upload.
- Result preview and comparison: After processing is complete, you can compare the original video with the AI result, then download the clean video.
- Supported formats: MP4, MOV, WebM.
- File size limits: 50MB for free accounts, 100MB for paid accounts.
- Processing time is based on the credit configuration, and paid plans provide a number of concurrent tasks (such as 1, 2, or 4 concurrent tasks).
- Result retention period: 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days, depending on the plan.
How to use
- Upload a video: Choose an MP4, MOV, or WebM file, preview the clip, and check the processing cost before confirming.
- AI removes visible text: It automatically detects visible text and reconstructs the areas it covers, with no frame-by-frame editing required.
- Preview and download the result: After processing is complete, compare the original with the AI result, then download the cleaned video.
The official description states that processing consumes credits, and AI results are provided after processing is complete, not as a free preview before payment. To get trial credits: after verifying your email, you can receive 3 trial credits.
Billing method: 1 credit per second started, with a minimum of 3 credits. Credit packs expire after 365 days; subscription credits last up to 90 days and have a 2x rollover cap.
Use cases
- Repurposing interview content: Remove burned-in podcast subtitles before adding a new language or updating subtitles. Get a clean result first, then add new subtitles in your usual editor.
- Short video re-editing: Clear old captions from vertical talking-head videos, then give them a new subtitle style. Check locations where large words cover the speaker or complex backgrounds.
- Tutorial updates: Remove outdated captions from demonstrations so you can prepare an updated version. Automatic removal may also affect things you want to keeplabels or other text, the complete result needs to be checked.
- Social media videos: saved videos containing visible social media caption text can be uploaded. Directly importing TikTok or Instagram URLs is not supported. When caption text covers faces or moving objects, the result needs to be carefully checked.
Limitations and Notes
- Reconstructed pixels are AI estimates, not recovery of the original hidden scene. AI cannot deterministically recover occluded source pixels.
- Large text, fast motion, faces, detailed textures, camera movement, and changing lighting may leave blur, flicker, or generated details.
- Large or overlapping text may leave artifacts, and the official recommendation is to use real examples to evaluate whether the output suits your needs.
- Areas not covered are not guaranteed to have pixel-identical output.
- Automatic processing may also affect other visible text.
- Difference from embedded subtitle tracks: embedded subtitles disappear when CC is turned off and can usually be disabled or excluded during export without AI processing. The official recommendation is to first disable all subtitle sources, because players may display subtitles from external files and embedded tracks at the same time.
- Directly importing TikTok or Instagram URLs is not supported.
