Frequently Asked Questions

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. Every file keeps its format, except free WEBM exports, which come back as MP4. 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. Swap the tone for silence, a quack, a record scratch or any short clip of your own, or play each word in reverse.

Where are my files stored?

In the EU, encrypted at rest, in your library until you delete them. Deleting a file removes it and its exports at once.

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.
