How to remove a watermark or logo from an image
- Choose your image. JPG, PNG and WebP are supported.
- Mark the area. Click and drag a box over the logo, date stamp or text you want removed. Keep the box snug around it; a little margin is fine.
- Choose a finish. Reconstruct is fast and works best on plain or gently changing backgrounds such as sky, walls or skin. Reconstruct (edges) is better when the mark sits across strong lines, like the edge of a building or a horizon.
- Compare and download. Check the before and after view, then save the result as a PNG.
The image is processed on your own device and never uploaded.
What this tool is for
This is a cleanup tool for your own pictures. Typical uses are:
- Removing the date stamp an old camera printed onto your photos.
- Cleaning your own logo or a placeholder mark off an image before reusing it.
- Taking a stray object, sticker or caption out of a picture you took.
- Tidying up a stock image you have licensed, where the licence lets you edit it.
Please use it only on images you own or have permission to edit. A watermark on someone else’s photo usually means they hold the rights to it; removing it does not give you permission to use the picture.
Getting a clean result
- Small, tight boxes work best. The tool fills the marked area using the pixels around it, so the less it has to invent, the more natural it looks.
- Work in pieces. For a long line of text, remove it in two or three passes instead of one large box.
- Busy backgrounds are harder. Faces, text and detailed patterns behind a mark cannot be truly recovered; the fill will look smooth rather than exact.
- Mark near an edge? If the logo sits in a corner, cropping it away is often cleaner than filling it.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the result saved as PNG?
PNG keeps the cleaned area exactly as you saw it in the preview, without adding new compression marks. You can convert it to JPG afterwards if you need a smaller file.
Does it recover what was under the watermark?
No tool can see what was hidden. The area is rebuilt from its surroundings, which looks convincing on plain backgrounds and less so over fine detail.
Which finish should I start with?
Start with Reconstruct. If you see a smudge across a straight line or edge, try Reconstruct (edges).
