What is the video for?

  • Just a video

    Anything. Opens as it is: nothing scanned or cut until you choose. Every tool is a tap away: faces, cuts, captions, size.

  • A screen recording

    Tutorial · Demo · Talk. Your screen and you, with pauses trimmed and a clean voice. Your camera stays a separate layer you can move later. Recorded on this device.

  • A vertical clip

    Reels · TikTok · Shorts. 9:16 that follows your face, silences cut, captions ready. Faces and plates hidden. Captions use a one-time model download.

  • A YouTube video

    YouTube. 16:9 with gentle cuts and balanced sound. Phone footage gets a blurred-background fill. High‑quality export.

  • A motovlog

    Ride footage. Wind removed, plates and passers‑by hidden. For helmet and chest cams. GoPro GPS becomes a speed gauge.

  • Hide faces

    Privacy. Every face found and blurred, followed as it moves. Starts as soon as the video opens. A one-time ~4 MB download.

  • Hide licence plates

    Privacy. Plates found and blurred, frame by frame. Starts as soon as the video opens. A one-time 8–15 MB download.

  • Cut “um”s and “uh”s

    Sound. Hesitations cut out. Every word you meant stays. Found in the sound itself, on your device. Nothing to download.

  • Add captions

    Captions. Word-timed captions, written on your device. Starts on its own. The speech model (100–300 MB) downloads once; on mobile data it waits for you.

Private by construction

  • Runs on your device

    Your browser decodes, analyses and encodes the video. There is no server to send it to.

  • Nothing is uploaded

    The counter in the header measures every byte this page sends. It stays at zero.

  • Location data wiped

    Phones hide GPS positions inside videos. The exported file never carries them.

Questions

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser opens, edits and saves the video on your own device. The only downloads are the AI models, once; the counter at the top shows that nothing is uploaded.

How do I blur faces in a video?

Open the video and tap “Search” next to faces in the Privacy tab. Faces are found and followed automatically and hidden with blur, pixels, an emoji or a box. Tap anyone who should stay visible, like yourself.

Can it hide licence plates and other things?

Yes. Search for plates with one tap, or draw around anything else (a house number, a logo, a screen) and it is followed as it moves.

Can it cut silences and “um”s?

Yes. Switch cutting on and pauses and held hesitation sounds like “um”, “uh” and “eee” are found and cut. You can also remove any part by hand, or delete words in the Text tab.

Which languages do the captions support?

Speech is turned into captions on your device in Turkish, English, German, French, Spanish and more. The language is detected, and you can choose it yourself.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, in a current Chrome or Safari, and you can install it like an app. Long videos are faster on a computer.

Is it really free?

Yes: no sign-up, no watermark, no limits. Everything runs on your device, so there is no server to pay for.
