Remove Hardcoded Subtitles with AI Inpainting
Unlike soft subtitles that can simply be toggled off, hardcoded subtitles are permanently burned into the video image. Our AI uses advanced inpainting technology to detect subtitle regions, remove the text, and reconstruct the background behind it — all automatically. The result is clean footage with no visible text artifacts, as if the subtitles were never there.
Clean Up Burned-In Captions Without Quality Loss
Our AI only processes the subtitle regions while leaving the rest of each frame completely untouched. This targeted approach ensures maximum video quality preservation. The inpainted areas blend seamlessly with the surrounding content, producing professional results that are virtually indistinguishable from the original clean footage.
Remove Text Overlays from Any Language
The AI text detection works regardless of the subtitle language — English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, or any other script. It also handles various subtitle styles including white text, colored text, outlined text, and semi-transparent background boxes. Perfect for cleaning up content for re-subtitling in a different language.
