About VidClean
I was editing a video and realized I'd spent more time scrubbing through footage looking for the parts where I wasn't talking than I had actually recording it. It was tedious, repetitive, and every tool I tried to fix it either required an account, slapped a watermark on my export, or buried the feature I needed behind a paywall. Nothing just worked.
So I built the silence remover I wanted. No account, no watermark, upload your video and get back a clean version. That was VidClean.
Then I kept running into the same wall on other things: compressing a clip for Discord, pulling audio out of a Zoom recording, stabilizing handheld footage, fixing bad audio. So I built those too. There are 28 tools now, all on the same promise.
By the numbers
- 25 free video and audio tools
- 581+ files processed to date
- $33/month total infrastructure cost
- 4 processing services: web app, FFmpeg worker, DeepFilterNet noise-removal worker, and Whisper transcription worker
- Uploaded files deleted within 1 hour of download
- Launched in 2026
What VidClean stands for
Video and audio tools should be simple and free. Not free-with-an-asterisk. Not free-until-you-need-the-useful-part. Free. No account required, no watermark ever, files deleted from our servers 1 hour after you download them. That's the whole promise.
About me
My name is Melvin Bucio. I'm based in Huntsville, Alabama, originally from Phoenix and raised partly in Jalisco, Mexico. I work in procurement and upload content every once in a while. I built VidClean because I needed it, not because I was already a developer building tools for a living. VidClean started in early 2026. I pay the hosting myself. The costs are small enough that I'd rather keep it free than chase revenue.
