Is it legal to remove watermarks?

It depends. Removing watermarks from images you own or have licensed is perfectly legal. Removing watermarks to use copyrighted images without a license is copyright infringement. Always ensure you have the right to use the image before removing a watermark.

Does it work on tiled or diagonal watermarks?

Yes. The AI handles repeating tiled patterns, diagonal text, and semi-transparent overlays. Heavily tiled watermarks covering most of the image may produce slightly less perfect results.

Will there be any trace of the watermark?

In most cases, the inpainting is seamless and no trace remains. Very large or dark watermarks on detailed backgrounds may leave slight artifacts, which you can touch up with the manual brush tool.

Can I remove watermarks in bulk?

Pro users can batch-process multiple images with the same watermark pattern. The AI learns the pattern from the first image and applies consistent removal across the batch.

The tool detects text, logo, and tiled watermarks, then reconstructs the underlying image using surrounding context. It handles semi-transparent overlays, diagonal text, and repeating patterns. Processing takes about 5 seconds. Important: only use this on images you own or have licensed. Free for 3 removals per month.

Remove watermarks from images you own or have licensed.
