Manual brush control

Remove Timestamp from Video Online

Brush over a visible date, clock, or timecode embedded in your video. AIAI.COM processes the area you select throughout the clip without automatic timestamp detection, cropping, or zooming.

Visible pixels, not file metadata

Remove Visible, Burned-In Timestamps from Video

A burned-in timestamp is part of the visible video frames. It may show a calendar date, running clock, recording timecode, or date-and-time combination that changes as the video plays. This tool does not change hidden creation dates, GPS information, camera details, or other file metadata.

If your camera or recording software can export a clean version, use that source. This workflow is for visible timestamps already embedded in the video.

Why Fixed Video Timestamps Need a Defined Removal Area

The numbers may change every second, but their screen area usually stays fixed. Automatic detection can miss faint digits, unusual fonts, or transparent edges. Manual selection removes that uncertainty: mark the complete display area, and the video eraser repairs that region without reading individual digits.

This workflow works best when the timestamp remains within one defined area. If a date, logo, or text overlay moves significantly around the frame, use the Moving Watermark Remover.

Manual selection

Mark the Exact Timestamp Area Yourself

Choose exactly which visible timestamp pixels should be processed. A complete, carefully painted mask keeps the restoration focused on the display rather than nearby scene details.

No Timestamp Detection Required

The tool does not need to identify the font or read the date. You choose the target with the brush.

Cover Every Changing Digit

Cover the display at its widest so changing seconds, dates, and AM or PM indicators stay inside the mask.

Include Faded and Transparent Edges

Include outlines, glow, shadows, and semi-transparent edges that could otherwise remain visible.

Keep Nearby Details Outside the Mask

Keep subtitles, road signs, and other details you want to preserve outside the selection.

Remove Timestamps from Different Types of Video

Use manual selection for a fixed date, time, temperature, or recorder label in footage you own or are authorized to edit.

Old camcorder footage with a visible date and time stamp

Old Camcorder and Digitized Tape Footage

Clean dates from family videos, travel footage, VHS transfers, Hi8 recordings, and other archived clips.

Dashcam video with a visible date, time, speed, and GPS overlay

Dashcam and Action Camera Video

Remove a fixed date-and-time display from authorized driving, cycling, travel, or outdoor footage.

Four-camera CCTV view with visible recording timestamps

Home Security and CCTV Clips

Clean non-evidentiary clips used for presentations, training, or property updates. Keep the original when authenticity may matter.

Trail camera footage with a visible date and time stamp

Trail Camera and Wildlife Footage

Process fixed date, time, temperature, or recording labels in wildlife and nature clips.

Time-lapse city footage with a visible date and time stamp

Time-Lapse and System Exports

Remove fixed time displays from time-lapse footage, inspection videos, and system-generated exports.

Review the whole clip

See Timestamp Removal Across the Video

A paused frame cannot show consistency. Play the before-and-after videos as the timestamp changes and the scene moves behind it.

Changing Seconds

Check the clock area as seconds and minutes update.

Moving Scene

Review vehicles, people, reflections, or scenery as they pass behind the selected area.

Older Footage

Check compressed footage for remaining number edges and background consistency.

Remove a Timestamp Without Cropping or Blurring

Cropping and zooming remove part of the frame, while blur and solid patches remain visible. AIAI.COM processes the marked area while keeping the original frame dimensions and aspect ratio. The rest of the composition stays in place.

Automatic detection suits clear, standard overlays. Manual brushing provides more control over faint, unusual, or closely placed timestamps.

Review the Credit Estimate Before Processing

Video processing is charged by length, with the estimated credit consumption shown before processing. New AIAI.COM accounts receive 20 credits to test the effect; the footage covered depends on the estimate for the uploaded video.

What Affects Timestamp Removal Quality

Small, fixed timestamps over stable backgrounds are generally easier to repair. Faces, detailed patterns, fast motion, large masks, scene changes, and heavy compression can make the result less consistent.

The video eraser creates a plausible replacement from surrounding frames; it cannot recover the exact original pixels hidden beneath the timestamp. Review the complete output before use.

Yes, when the changing numbers remain inside one defined area. Cover the complete display at its widest.

No. You decide which visible area should be processed.

Yes, for footage you own or may edit. Keep an unedited original when authenticity or evidence may matter.

No. It processes visible pixels, not file dates, GPS data, device details, or other metadata.

Use the Moving Watermark Remover when the overlay travels significantly across the frame.

Yes. Paint over each fixed date, time, or recorder label in the same selection.

No. The selected region is processed without cutting away part of the frame.

No. The video eraser generates a plausible replacement from surrounding visual information.
