Batch Video Hard Subtitle Removal

Remove burned-in subtitles across video batches for continued editing, translation, or subtitle replacement

Before and after

Compare the same representative frame with and without burned-in subtitles. This is an illustrative example; results vary by footage

Representative video frame with burned-in subtitles

Hard subtitle removal

Remove subtitles that are burned into the image and cannot be turned off during playback.

Source audio retained

Retain the source video audio by default.

One-to-one file mapping

Why PeelSub

Review representative footage before confirming the full-batch scope and acceptance criteria, reducing one-by-one trial and file organization

Evaluate before batch processing

Review representative footage and confirm the processing scope before starting the full batch.

Batch QA

Check the confirmed scope for missed or incorrect handling and file mapping.

Results mapped one to one

Each source video maps to one processed result with the same base filename.

Which footage is better suited?

Fixed subtitles over continuous backgrounds are generally more stable, while moving subjects, effects, and scene cuts require sample review

Stable subtitle area

Fixed subtitles over continuous, relatively simple backgrounds are better suited to batch processing.

Complex visual area

Subtitles covering people, effects, or scene cuts require representative-footage review first.

Frequently asked questions

Understand the service scope, processing conditions, and material handoff

What are hard subtitles?

Hard subtitles are permanently embedded in the video image and cannot be turned off during playback. Switchable subtitle tracks are not hard subtitles.

Will this affect the source video audio?

Source video audio is retained by default, and the exact delivery scope is confirmed before processing begins.

Which footage is more likely to produce a natural result?

Fixed subtitle areas over continuous, simple backgrounds usually produce more natural results. Footage with moving subjects, effects, or scene cuts requires representative review because results vary by material.

What is the standard deliverable?

An organized set of processed videos. Each source video maps to one result, and the source audio is retained by default.

How are schedule and fees determined?

Schedule and fees depend on video count, total duration, subtitle position, and visual complexity, and are confirmed before processing begins.

How do I hand off video materials?

The website form does not accept videos or media links. We first review the batch scope, then confirm the material handoff method separately.
