Remove text, captions, subtitles from video

Box the text and erase.tools rebuilds the background behind it. Straight in the browser, at full resolution, with no blur patch left behind. Photo tools too — objects, backgrounds, faces.

Remove burned-in subtitles

Draw one box over the caption band and it clears for the whole clip. Because the text sits on a flat area, results there are usually indistinguishable from a clean master.

Keep the original quality

We rebuild only the pixels inside your selection and pass the rest of the frame through untouched — same resolution, same bitrate, same container. A 4K clip comes back 4K.

Watermarks and logos

Tracking locks onto the mark across the timeline, so a bouncing platform stamp only needs marking once. The background behind it is rebuilt, not blurred or cropped away.

No watermark of ours

Never — not on the free tier either. What you export is your file with something removed and nothing added.

How to remove text from a video

Three steps, one page. Nothing to install and nothing to learn.

  1. 1

    Upload

    Choose an MP4, MOV, or WebM clip up to 500 MB and 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Brush

    Detection pre-selects static stamps and captions. Paint over anything else — edges don't need to be tight.

  3. 3

    Export

    Same resolution, same bitrate, no stamp of ours in the corner. Download or send it straight on.

Why choose erase.tools?

Six things that stay true on the free tier, not only on the paid one.

  • Easy to use

    Brush over what shouldn't be there. Edges don't need to be tight, and no professional expertise is needed.

  • Full resolution

    Same resolution, same bitrate, same container. The rest of the frame passes through untouched.

  • No watermark

    Nothing added to your export, on any tier. What you download is your file, cleaned.

  • Batch ready

    Drop up to 50 files at once and apply the same selection region across all of them.

  • In the browser

    No installation required. Upload a clip, mark a region and export, all on one page.

  • API access

    One POST with a file and a region, one signed URL back. SDKs for JS and Python.

The other ways to do this — and what they cost you

Every alternative below works. Each one takes something out of the file on the way through.

  • INSTEAD OF

    "Free" tools that watermark the result

    You take one watermark off and get another one back, usually bigger and in the corner you cannot crop.

    Nothing is added to your export, on the free tier and on Pro alike.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Blurring or pixelating the area

    A blur patch marks exactly where the thing was. Everyone can still see that something was taken out.

    The pixels behind your selection are rebuilt from the surrounding frame.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Cropping it out of the shot

    Cropping changes the aspect ratio and throws away picture you paid to shoot, to hide one corner stamp.

    The frame you get back is the frame you uploaded.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Premiere, After Effects or a desktop app

    They can all do this — after an install, a licence, a tutorial and an afternoon of masking and tracking.

    One page, one rectangle, one export. Nothing to install.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Free tiers that downscale the export

    A 720p preview file is a paywall wearing a costume. The full-quality version is the thing you have to buy.

    A free account includes one 10-credit video trial at full resolution. Pro processes clips up to 90 seconds. A 4K clip comes back 4K.

  • INSTEAD OF

    Converters that upload every file

    A HEIC photo or a screenshot of your bank details goes to somebody's server to be turned into a JPG.

    HEIC to JPG, WebP to PNG and JPG, blur, pixelate, censor and face blur run entirely in your browser. No upload, no account.
