Watermark Remover

Your own logo on an old export, a date stamp burnt into the corner, a stranger in the background of a holiday shot. Paint over what has to go and the spot is drawn from the pixels around it. Nothing is recovered — under a watermark nothing was ever recorded — so the only question is whether the patch looks right, and on a plain background it usually does.

A watermark is someone’s claim to the picture. Removing it from a photo you own — your own logo, a preview of your own work — is housekeeping; doing it to someone else’s photo does not give you the right to use that photo.

The picture stays on this device: it is not uploaded anywhere, and there is no model to download. Everything is drawn in your browser.

How to use

  1. Choose the picture — JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC.
  2. Set the brush size and paint over what has to go, edges included.
  3. Press the button, check the result, undo if needed, then download the PNG.

Good to know

Where this works and where it does not

Sky, a wall, a table, a blurred background — the patch is invisible, because the surroundings are uniform and there is nothing to guess. Patterned fabric, brickwork, text and faces — visible at once: the fill grows in from the edges and comes out smooth where the picture is detailed. Paint in small strokes rather than one large blob and the difference is much smaller.

A watermark is a claim, not just pixels

It is there to say who owns the picture. Removing it from a photo of yours — your own logo, a preview of your own work, a stamp you added yourself — is housekeeping. Removing it from someone else’s photo does not transfer any right to use that photo: the mark disappears, the copyright does not. This tool does the pixels; the licence stays your responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

Is the photo uploaded to a server?

No. There is no model and no upload here: the fill is arithmetic that runs in your browser, and after the page loads it works with the network off.

Why is the patch blurry?

Because the fill grows in from the edges of the painted area. On a uniform background that is exactly right; on a detailed one it smooths things over. Smaller strokes give a much better result than one big area.

Can it find the watermark by itself?

No, and that is deliberate. Watermarks run across the whole frame and are often semi-transparent — automatic detection misses more often than it hits, and takes half the sky with it. The brush is predictable.

Does removing a watermark make the photo mine?

No. The mark is a claim of authorship, not the right itself. On your own pictures this is ordinary cleanup; on someone else’s the licence question stays exactly where it was.
