Remove emoji and stickers from a video
Emoji and stickers baked into a video on export can be removed with Smart Erase, or covered with Region Erase. On photos, use Manual Eraser.
| What's on screen | How to remove it | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Emoji and stickers in a video | Smart Erase first: it finds and removes them automatically. | Smart Erase usually uses 2× credits. |
| Covering just one sticker | Use Region Erase and cover the sticker with the erase area. | The erase area can cover up to 20% of the frame. |
| Stickers in two places | Use Short Video Pro and put one erase area on each. | Each erase area can cover up to 20% of the frame. |
| Stickers on a photo | Start with Auto photo erase, then use Manual Eraser for anything left. | Manual Eraser asks to use 1 image credit when it finishes. |
Works for
- Videos exported from TikTok, Stories or CapCut with stickers on them.
- Emoji and stickers on your own photos.
- Content you own or are allowed to edit.
Not for
- You only have a video link, not the file.
- Someone else's video.
Emoji and stickers you added in TikTok, Instagram Stories or CapCut become part of the picture once you export, so you can't tap them away anymore. Upload the video and use Smart Erase first; you can also cover the sticker with Region Erase. For stickers on a photo, paint over them with Manual Eraser. Only use videos you own or are allowed to edit.
Use only content you own or are authorized to process. Do not upload other people’s copyrighted material.

Frequently asked questions
Can I still remove a sticker after the video is exported?
Yes. Once exported, the sticker is part of the picture. Upload the video and remove it with Smart Erase; the picture behind it is filled back in.
What if I haven't exported the video yet?
Delete the sticker in TikTok, CapCut or your editor and export again. That's cleaner than erasing it afterwards.
Can a sticker over a face be removed?
Yes, but when erasing over a face the filled area has limits. Check the preview before you export.
Can I remove emoji or stickers from a photo?
Yes. Upload the photo, start with Auto photo erase, then paint over anything left with Manual Eraser.
Can I try it for free?
For videos up to 2 minutes, you can preview the result for free. The preview can't be saved. Use credits to export when you're happy.
Can I paste a video link?
No. Save the video to your device first, then upload that file.
