Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m thrilled to launch Video Text Remover today!

A bit about my background: I’m a former video director and editor turned indie hacker. Back when I was working in video production, one of the most frustrating and time-consuming tasks was repurposing archival footage or localizing videos. We constantly had to manually mask and track hardcoded subtitles, TV broadcast logos, and old watermarks frame by frame. It was a massive headache.

To scratch my own itch, I built Video Text Remover.

It’s a lightweight, browser-based AI tool that lets you manually select the exact area of the text or watermark, and uses AI inpainting to reconstruct the missing background smoothly.

Here are a few things I focused on while building it:

✨ Original Quality Preserved: It exports MP4 and MOV files at their original resolution. It doesn't aggressively compress your 1080p/4K footage into a pixelated mess.

💸 Fair Pricing (No Subscriptions): As a creator, I hate being locked into $20/month subscriptions for tools I only use occasionally. So, I opted for a simple Pay-As-You-Go model. You only pay for successfully processed video duration.

🔒 Privacy First: It processes your tasks efficiently without requiring you to download any heavy software.

I would absolutely love your feedback on:

1. The UX/UI of the manual selection tool—is it intuitive enough?

2. The AI inpainting quality on highly dynamic or complex video backgrounds.

3. Your thoughts on the pay-as-you-go pricing model for this kind of tool.

I’ll be hanging out here all day, so please feel free to drop any questions, suggestions, or roast my landing page. Thank you so much for your support! 🚀
