Do I need an account to remove a watermark from a photo?

No. Guests can process 3 images per day, up to 93 per month, without an account.

Which photo formats are supported?

JPG, PNG and WebP up to 25 MB each.

Does removing the watermark reduce the resolution?

Images up to 6,000px on the longest edge keep their dimensions. Larger images are proportionally resized before processing; only the watermark region is rebuilt and no extra compression is applied afterwards.

Can I remove a watermark from a photo that someone else owns?

No. Removing someone else's watermark is a copyright issue. Use this on your own images, or on images you have a licence for.

How to Remove a Watermark From a Photo

Three steps, no software. This guide also covers the cases where removing a watermark is not something you should be doing.

Open the free photo remover

Step 1 — Upload the Photo

Open the remover, drop the JPG, PNG or WebP file into the upload box, or paste an image straight from the clipboard. Files are limited to 25 MB, and images longer than 6,000px on the longest edge are resized before processing.

Step 2 — Let the Remover Detect the Watermark

The watermark is treated as a separate layer. The remover finds that layer and rebuilds the pixels underneath it instead of blurring over them, which is why the result does not show a smudge.

Step 3 — Download the Clean Photo

Preview the result side by side with the original, then download the processed image. Images longer than 6,000px on the longest edge are proportionally resized before processing; no extra compression is applied afterwards.

Before You Remove a Watermark

Removing a watermark from a photo you do not own the rights to is a copyright problem, and platforms act on it. This tool is meant for your own images: the watermark from your own camera app, a logo you added yourself, a date stamp, that sort of thing.

What Kind of Watermarks Come Off Cleanly

Solid, semi-transparent watermarks over fairly uniform backgrounds are the easiest case. Watermarks sitting on top of detailed texture — hair, foliage, fine fabric — need more reconstruction and can leave a faint trace.

Date stamps from cameras and phones
A logo you placed on your own image
Text captions burned into a screenshot
Semi-transparent draft or proof marks
