Introduction

Video Subtitle Remover(VSR) is an AI-based local tool designed to remove hard-coded subtitles from videos and text-like watermarks from images, generating output files with lossless resolution. It requires no third-party API, enabling all functions to be implemented locally for data privacy and efficiency.

Core Functions

  • Hard Subtitle/Text Watermark Removal:Utilizes AI algorithms to accurately identify and remove hard-coded subtitles from videos and text watermarks from images, producing clean files.
  • Intelligent Area Inpainting:Employs advanced AI models to fill in the removed subtitle/watermark areas with pixel-level precision, avoiding mosaic or blurry effects.
  • Flexible Customization Modes
    • Manual position specification for precise subtitle removal;
    • Automatic full-video scanning for batch text element processing.
  • Batch Processing:Supports batch watermark removal for multiple images, enhancing workflow efficiency.

Technical Features and Advantages

  • Multi-platform Compatibility
    • Pre-built Windows packages (supporting NVIDIA CUDA and AMD/Intel DirectML acceleration);
    • Docker deployment available for various GPU models (e.g., Nvidia 10/20/30/40/50 series, AMD/Intel discrete/integrated graphics).
  • High-performance Algorithms
    • Integrates STTN, LAMA, PROPAINTER, and other AI algorithms optimized for different scenarios:
      • STTN: Ideal for live-action videos, fast speed with optional detection skip;
      • LAMA: Superior for images and animated videos;
      • PROPAINTER: Suited for high-motion videos with excellent results.
  • Local Operation:Eliminates reliance on third-party APIs, ensuring data security and stable performance without network dependency.
  • Open-source and Scalable:Provides source code and training tools, allowing users to customize models for improved removal effects.

Application Scenarios

  • Video post-production: Removing hard subtitles from film clips or educational videos;
  • Image watermark cleaning: Batch processing watermarked material images;
  • Content re-creation: Providing subtitle-free raw files for translation, re-dubbing, etc.
