Platform captions vanish when a clip is downloaded, embedded, or reposted — burned-in subtitles are part of the pixels and show everywhere. CleanReel transcribes your speech with AI and hardcodes clean, styled captions in one pass.
Open the studio — free preview
For content you own. Only upload videos you own or are licensed to edit. Uploads auto-delete within ~6 hours, results are never re-watermarked, and you see a free preview before paying anything.
Crops lose framing and blur boxes draw the eye. CleanReel reconstructs the background with neural inpainting and shows a quality score, so the edit is invisible — and previews are free, so a result that isn't clean costs nothing.
An .srt is a separate file platforms can show or hide; burned-in captions are rendered into the video itself and can never be turned off. CleanReel gives you both.
The style — bold white with a dark outline — is chosen to stay readable through every platform's re-encode.
Not yet — today the captions come from the AI transcription of your clip's audio. Edited-SRT upload is on the roadmap.
