About "Weydub"
What is Weydub?
Weydub is an AI media localization tool for remaking existing videos and images for other languages. Rather than generating new videos, it specializes in turning material you already have into something usable in another market — training videos, product videos, short dramas and so on.
At its core is subtitle removal, which erases subtitles, logos and on-screen text burned into the picture. On top of that, a single workspace covers subtitle generation with speech recognition (ASR) and OCR, AI translation, AI dubbing including voice cloning, and translation of text inside images. Weydub is the international brand built on the media localization technology of the Chinese video editing tool GhostCut, and the operating company named in its terms of service is PixelRock Limited in Hong Kong. A Japanese site and interface are available.

Unlike hiding a subtitle track, Weydub deals with text written into the picture itself (burned-in or hard subtitles). It finds the text regions with OCR and fills in the background that should have been there with AI inpainting, so the traces are far less noticeable than with mosaics or blurring. Besides subtitles, it handles lower thirds, logos, watermarks and scrolling text.
There are two quality levels: Lite, which detects text regions automatically, and Pro, which processes a specified area. It does not perfectly restore the original pixels, and results vary with the background and how the text overlaps it. The Weydub team itself recommends checking the processed video by eye.
How to use
-
Upload your videos
Upload MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV or MPG videos (up to 15 minutes and 1 GB per video on paid credit packs). You can add several at once, or paste links to social videos on YouTube, TikTok and the like.
-
Choose what to do
Select the processing you need — subtitle removal, subtitle generation, video translation and so on. For video translation you set the source and target languages, the subtitle source (speech recognition, OCR of burned-in subtitles, or an uploaded subtitle file), the dubbing voice and how to treat background audio (keep BGM / keep sound effects only / mute).
-
Review subtitles and speakers
Fix the timing and wording of the generated subtitles in the online SRT editor. The AI identifies speakers automatically so you can assign a voice to each role. It is safest to have a person check proper nouns and timing at this stage.
-
Render and download
Render the video with subtitles, dubbing and BGM combined, and download the video and SRT files together. You can also export project files for editing software such as Premiere Pro and CapCut.
Seven steps handled as one flow
You can use a single function — just removing or just generating subtitles — but Weydub is designed to run "clean the source → transcribe subtitles → translate → dub → export" within one project. When processing dozens of episodes of the same series, as with short dramas, speaker IDs and voice assignments carry over across episodes.

How Weydub differs from other video translation and AI dubbing tools
| Aspect | Weydub | Rask AI | HeyGen | Vrew |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | Removing burned-in subtitles from existing videos before localizing | Video translation and dubbing | Generating and translating AI avatar videos | Transcribing subtitles and subtitle-based video editing |
| Burned-in subtitle removal | Core feature (Lite / Pro) | Not a focus | Not a focus | Not a focus |
| Translating text in images | Yes (100+ languages) | — | — | — |
| Pricing model | One-time credits (with expiry) | Subscription | Subscription | Free plan + subscription |
Weydub fits best when the source-language subtitles are burned into the picture, so you cannot simply lay subtitles in another language on top. Chinese or Korean short dramas, product videos delivered with captions, and training videos full of on-screen text are typical cases.
- If there are no burned-in subtitles and you mainly want to compare translation and dubbing quality, see Rask AI
- For translated videos with lip-sync to the speaker, or for creating new videos with AI avatars, see HeyGen
- If voice quality is what matters most and you work with audio on its own, see ElevenLabs
- To edit videos starting from Japanese subtitle transcription, see Vrew

The official site features comments from people such as a short-drama company CEO and an e-commerce operator, but each is credited only with a partial name and an industry, without naming the company.
