Why use Remove Text from Video
Text overlays, titles, and on-screen graphics burned into a video can't be removed with a simple crop or cut — they're baked into every pixel of every frame. Reclip's AI uses inpainting technology to analyze the pixels surrounding the text in each frame and reconstruct what should be behind it. The result is a clean video with the text completely erased, not blurred or covered. No desktop software, no frame-by-frame editing — upload, draw a box over the text, and the AI removes it.
Supported formats
Input: MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV. Maximum video length: 1 minute 30 seconds. Output: MP4.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to get you started fast.
How do I remove text from a video?
Upload your video to Reclip's text remover and draw a selection box over the text overlay — caption, title, watermark, timestamp, or any burned-in graphic. The AI removes the text and reconstructs the background frame by frame.
Can I remove any type of text overlay from a video?
Yes. The tool works on captions, subtitles, watermarks, logos, timestamps, on-screen titles, lower thirds, and any other hardcoded text embedded in the video.
Will there be visible artifacts where the text was?
The AI reconstructs the background using surrounding frame data. Results are cleanest on simple or consistent backgrounds. Complex or highly textured backgrounds may show minor imperfections.
Does it work on moving backgrounds?
Yes. The AI processes every frame independently. Most social video content — including TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels — works well.
What is the maximum video length?
Up to 1 minute 30 seconds. For longer videos, use the AI Clipper to trim the section you need, then remove the text from that clip.
What video formats are supported?
You can upload MP4, MOV, AVI, and MKV files. The output is always MP4.
Is it free to remove text from a video?
Yes. Reclip lets you remove text from videos online with a free account — no credit card required. Sign up takes under 30 seconds.
How long does processing take?
Processing time depends on video length and the size of the selected region. Most short clips complete in under two minutes.
