VIDEO CENSOR TOOL
Upload a video. Review AI-timed words. Download the clean version.
Censor profanity in video without opening Premiere, CapCut, or iMovie. Upload an MP4, MOV, AVI, or WebM file, generate an AI transcript, review likely matches, choose bleep or silence, and export a clean MP4. This is the broad video censor tool page; use the upload workflow when you are ready to process a clip.

Video censoring is the process of finding specific spoken words in a video's audio track and replacing them with bleep sounds, silence, or alternative audio effects. Bleep That Sh*t! uses OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model to generate word-level timestamps for review, then replaces selected words with built-in bleep or silence options. Browser mode processes short desktop clips locally using WebAssembly and FFmpeg.wasm.

AI BUILDS A TIMED TRANSCRIPT
OpenAI's Whisper large-v3 model (via Hugging Face Transformers.js) transcribes your video with word-level timestamps. Review likely matches, apply profanity lists, or select words manually using exact, partial, or fuzzy matching.
CHOOSE YOUR BLEEP
Pick a built-in option: classic TV bleep, brown noise, dolphin chirps, T-Rex roar, or silence. Adjust volume and buffer timing.

- Accuracy: Whisper AI works best with clear English speech. Heavy accents, background noise, or overlapping speakers may reduce transcription accuracy.

- Audio only: This tool censors spoken words in the audio track. It does not blur or pixelate visual content.
