Remove a video watermark
Drag a box over a logo in your own footage and reconstruct, cover or crop it out. Everything runs locally, so the file never leaves your device.
What this can and cannot do
There is no method that reliably makes a watermark vanish without trace. Anything covering the image has destroyed the pixels underneath, and no tool recovers information that is not there. What tools can do is reconstruct a plausible substitute, hide the area, or remove it from frame — and being honest about which you are getting matters more than the marketing usually allows.
This tool offers all three, because which one looks best depends entirely on the footage.
Reconstruct
Fills the selected area by interpolating from the pixels immediately around it, using FFmpeg’s delogo filter.
It works genuinely well on a small, static logo sitting over a fairly plain background — a corner watermark over sky, a wall, a blurred backdrop, an even gradient. The reconstruction has real detail around it to work from and the result is often hard to spot.
It works poorly when the background is busy or moving. Text, faces, foliage, patterned surfaces and fast camera movement all give it nothing coherent to extrapolate, and you get a soft smeared patch that draws the eye more than the watermark did. If that is what you see, do not fight it — use one of the other two.
Cover
Paints a solid box over the region. Always clean, never smeared, and obviously a box. This is the honest choice when reconstruction looks wrong and you cannot afford to lose framing. It is also the most predictable across an entire clip, because it does not depend on what the background happens to be doing in any given frame.
Crop
Trims away the whole edge the watermark sits on. The result has no artefact at all, because the region is simply gone. The cost is that your video’s dimensions change and you lose everything else along that edge, which matters if the framing is tight or the destination expects a specific aspect ratio.
For a watermark in a corner of otherwise generous framing, this is frequently the best-looking option and the one people overlook.
Selecting the area
Drag a box over the watermark in the preview. Keep it tight — a larger selection means more pixels to reconstruct or cover, and a looser result. Reconstruction in particular degrades quickly as the area grows, because the interpolation has further to reach.
The selection is applied to the whole clip, so it suits a watermark that stays in one place. A logo that moves, fades or changes position between shots needs frame-by-frame work that a browser tool is not the right instrument for.
Nothing is uploaded
Processing runs in your browser through FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. The file is read from your disk, worked on by your own processor, and handed back. No server receives a copy, there is no queue, and no file size limit beyond your device’s memory. You can confirm it in your developer tools’ Network tab, or by disconnecting after the page loads.
That privacy matters more here than for most tools, since the footage people want to clean up is frequently their own unreleased work.
Use this on your own material
This exists for removing a logo from footage you have the right to edit — your own recordings, a platform badge burned into a video you made, a client’s brand mark you have been asked to take off. Stripping a watermark from stock footage, a paid asset or someone else’s work to republish it is copyright infringement, and no amount of technical convenience changes that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it remove a watermark completely?
No tool can. Anything covering the image destroyed the pixels underneath, and nothing recovers information that is not there. What this does is reconstruct a plausible substitute, cover the area, or crop it out of frame. On a small logo over a plain background the reconstruction is often hard to spot; on busy footage it will not be.
Which method should I use?
Try Reconstruct first: it fills the area from surrounding pixels and looks best over sky, walls, blurred backdrops or even gradients. If the background is detailed or moving and you get a smudge, switch to Cover for a clean solid box, or Crop to remove that edge entirely. Crop often looks best when the framing has room to spare.
Does it work if the watermark moves around?
No. The selection is applied to the entire clip, so it suits a logo that stays in one place. A watermark that moves, fades or changes position between shots needs frame-by-frame work, which a browser tool is not the right instrument for.
Is it legal to remove a watermark?
It depends entirely on whose video it is. Removing a logo from footage you own or have been asked to edit is fine. Stripping a watermark from stock footage, a paid asset, or someone else's work in order to republish it is copyright infringement. Use this on your own material.
Will removing the watermark reduce quality?
Slightly. All three methods require re-encoding the video, which costs one compression generation. We encode at a high quality setting so the difference is minimal, but you should always work from your original file rather than a previous export.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Processing runs in your browser through FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, on your own processor. That matters more here than for most tools, since the footage people want to clean up is often their own unreleased work.
