Questions about remove watermark

Does it perfectly erase a watermark?

No. It blurs the area you choose, which hides a watermark but does not rebuild what was underneath.

Which formats work?

JPG, PNG and WebP. You get the same format back.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The blur is applied in your browser.

What this tool can and cannot do

You drag a box over the watermark and the tool blurs everything inside that box, from 4 to 40 pixels of blur. The rest of the picture is left alone. This hides a watermark, but it does not rebuild what was underneath, so a blurred patch stays visible, especially on a plain or sharp background.

It works best for a small mark on a busy area, like foliage or a crowd, where a soft patch blends in. It works worst on large marks across a face or a smooth sky.

SituationWhat to try
Small mark in a cornerUse the Crop Image tool to cut the corner off instead
Small mark on a busy areaBlur a snug box with a strength of 12 to 20
Large or see-through markExpect a visible patch; a different source image may be better

Tips and a note on permission

Draw the box a little larger than the mark so no edge is left showing, and raise the strength if the letters are still readable. A very strong blur makes a bigger smudge, so use the lowest strength that hides the mark. The result is saved in the same format as the picture with -cleaned added to the file name.

Only edit a watermark on pictures you own or have permission to change. A watermark often shows who made a picture, and removing someone else’s may break their rights or a licence agreement.
