Remove captions from any video.
AI detects captions baked into your footage and reconstructs the background behind them frame by frame. Repurpose content, fix errors, or localize for new audiences.
The problem
Hardcoded captions are a dead end for your content.
Locked to one language
Hardcoded captions tie your content to one audience. You can't localize without re-shooting or starting over.
Can't repurpose cleanly
Want to turn a TikTok into a YouTube Short? The old captions clash with the new platform's style and sizing.
Outdated or wrong captions
Typos, auto-generated errors, or an old brand voice stuck permanently in your video. No way to fix them — until now.
Three steps to caption-free video
No timeline scrubbing. No manual frame-by-frame edits. Upload, process, done.
Upload your video
Drag any video with hardcoded captions into the editor. MP4, MOV, and WebM are all supported.
AI detects and removes
The AI scans every frame, identifies text regions, and reconstructs the original background behind them.
Get a clean video
Your caption-free video appears on the timeline. Add new subtitles, edit further, or export immediately.
Built for precision, not shortcuts
Other tools blur, crop, or overlay. Satura reconstructs the original background using AI — so your video looks like the captions were never there.
Frame-by-frame reconstruction
The AI doesn't just blur or crop — it intelligently fills in the background behind each caption using the surrounding visual context. The result looks like the text was never there.
Any language, any script
Works with Latin, CJK, Arabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari, and every other writing system. The AI detects visual text patterns, not specific languages.
Temporal consistency
Unlike image-by-image processing, the AI maintains consistency across frames. No flickering, no artifacts, no jumps between reconstructed backgrounds.
Fast processing
A 60-second clip at 1080p typically finishes in one to two minutes. Track progress in real time from the editor.
Non-destructive workflow
Your original file stays untouched. The clean version is a new asset on your timeline — switch between versions anytime.
Works with the full editor
Once captions are removed, add new subtitles with Quick Subtitles, layer in voiceovers, trim, and export — all in the same session.
Remove captions. Unlock new workflows.
Caption removal isn't just cleanup — it's the first step to repurposing every video you've ever made.
Repurpose for new platforms
Remove TikTok-style captions from a vertical video, then re-export it for YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels with the right caption style for each platform. One original video, multiple clean outputs.
Localize for global audiences
Strip English captions from a video and add Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, or any of 50+ languages using Quick Subtitles. Reach new markets without re-shooting a single frame.
Fix errors and rebrand
Remove captions with typos, outdated branding, or auto-generated mistakes. Replace them with accurate, on-brand subtitles that match your current style guide.
Clean archival footage
Restore old content by removing dated caption styles, watermarks, or hardcoded text overlays. Give legacy footage a second life with a modern, professional look.
AI removal vs. doing it yourself
