This page reads the text on screen and says what each line looks like. Everything it finds is a suggestion: nothing is hidden until you say so.

What this cannot do

Text that is highlighted, light on a dark background, very small or in an unusual font can be missed completely — in our own test a token shown for half a second was not seen by the whole-frame pass at all.

What is read is not always read correctly, so judge a line by where it is as much as by what it says.

Because of that, the result is never called safe. Watch the new video before you send it, and mark anything that is still visible — marking an area by hand always works, whatever the detectors did or did not see.

What happens to your video

It stays on your device. Frames are decoded, looked at and re-encoded in this browser tab; the new file is made here too. Your original file is never changed, and nothing is sent anywhere — you can check that with your browser's network tab, or by turning off the network after the page loads.

The new video is re-encoded, so it is not byte-identical to your original: the covered areas are burned into the picture and cannot be undone. The sound track is copied across unchanged.
