Can I censor a video online for free?

Yes. Every account gets 20 minutes of transcription a month at no cost, no credit card. Free exports carry a small watermark and are re-encoded. A one-time $4.99 pack adds 60 minutes that never expire and removes the watermark on every future export.

Which video formats work?

MP4, MOV, WEBM and MKV, up to 500 MB per file. WEBM comes back as MP4, the rest keep their format. Audio-only files (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A) work too.

Will the bleep be in sync with the video?

Yes. The bleep replaces the audio over the word's exact timestamps and nothing is cut, so the video length and timing do not change.

Does bleeping keep my YouTube video ad-friendly?

YouTube's advertiser-friendly guidelines list bleeped or muted profanity as eligible for ads, where the same words unbleeped can limit them. Bleeping is the fix YouTube itself describes.

Can I use a sound other than a bleep?

Yes. Upload any short audio file and it goes over every censored word instead of the tone. Silence is also an option.

Is it safe to upload my videos?

Files are encrypted at rest, stored in your library, and deletable at any time. The bleeping itself runs locally in your browser.

How do you add a bleep to a video without an editor?

The video is transcribed, so each word is already found and timed. Pick the sound, export, and only the audio is rewritten. A five-minute clip takes about as long as watching it once.

Does it re-encode my video?

Not on paid exports. The video stream is copied through untouched, only the audio is rebuilt. Free exports add a watermark, which needs a re-encode, and one $4.99 pack removes it for good.

Can I bleep a video on my phone?

Yes. Open Instableep in the phone browser, pick the video, tap the words, export. Vertical stays vertical. The one limit is 500 MB per file.

Censor video online free, what is the catch?

The watermark and the minutes. Free accounts get 20 minutes a month with a watermark on exports. The $4.99 pack buys 60 minutes that never expire and removes the watermark. No card needed to start.
