SEE IT IN ACTION

Your first repair, in 30 seconds.

Watch the basic workflow: open a video, select the timestamp, choose an output format, and export.

Silent screen recording supplied by the project creator. Open a local video, draw a rectangle around its timestamp, choose MKV or MP4, then select Export and save to a new file. Open the video separately (MP4, 1.3 MB).

Before exporting your own footage, render a preview and compare the original and repaired frames. Keep your originals and check the exported picture and audio.

WHY I BUILT THIS

A small tool, born from family trips.

I created Timestamp Cleaner to remove the camera timestamps from my own family videos recorded during trips. It began as a Python script. Today, a native Rust interface makes it easier to choose an area, compare a repair, and export a single result.

— Nir Rozen, project creator

From timestamp to finished video.

01 / SELECT

Choose the area

Open a local video and draw a rectangle around the timestamp. Refine it with precise source-pixel controls.

02 / PREVIEW

Check the repair

Compare original and repaired frames before processing the whole video. Results depend on the scene behind the timestamp.

03 / EXPORT

Save one result

Choose MKV or MP4 and export with audio. Your original stays untouched, and existing output files are protected.

Download SHA256SUMS.txt ↗

  1. Choose setup EXE or portable ZIP. Setup installs for your user and adds a versioned Start shortcut and uninstall entry. For a ZIP, extract the entire archive and keep its files together. Older releases may offer only a ZIP.
  2. Check the download before running it. Compare Get-FileHash .\<downloaded-file> -Algorithm SHA256 in PowerShell against SHA256SUMS.txt. Read the included START-HERE.md and the setup guide.
  3. Install the Microsoft runtime if missing. Use the official Visual C++ v14 Redistributable (x64).
  4. Launch from Start or the extracted folder. The app detects FFmpeg and FFprobe. If missing, it offers installation through WinGet with your consent. If setup fails, follow the manual media-tool guide.
  5. Try a short video. Select the timestamp, render a preview, choose MKV or MP4, and export. Play the result to check picture and audio.
