Changelog
What changed on RemoveWatermark.org, newest first. Bug fixes and corrections are listed alongside new features.
The site launched in March 2026. This log starts in August 2026, when we began keeping a detailed record of changes; earlier changes are not listed. Found a bug or a wrong statement in one of our guides? Email contact@removewatermark.org and the fix will show up here.
- Merged overlapping guides. Three topics each had two pages saying much the same thing. Each pair is now one page, and the old addresses redirect to it:
- The logo removal page now redirects to How to Remove a Logo from an Image.
- The batch removal guide now redirects to Batch Watermark Removal.
- The photo how-to guide now redirects to Remove Watermark from Photo.
- Guides now say who writes them. Every guide carries a byline and links to how we write and check our guides.
- Added this changelog.
- Batch: “Apply this mask to all.” When every photo in a batch has the same watermark in the same place, paint the mask once and copy it to every other image. The mask is scaled to each image’s size. If some images already have masks, you’re asked before they’re replaced. Batch Watermark Removal explains the workflow.
- Fixed: switching quickly between images in a batch could save one image’s mask under another.
- Fixed: the canvas jumped slightly on the first brush stroke in batch mode.
- Add Watermark works properly on phones. Four separate bugs fixed:
- On large phone photos the watermark came out about three times smaller than the preview. Size is now relative to the photo, so the download matches the preview.
- Portrait phone photos came back sideways because their rotation tag was ignored. This also affected the Remove tool, where a mask could land on the wrong area of a portrait photo.
- The tool sat partly off the left edge of the screen on phones, which hid the “Tile across image” option.
- The removal brush landed about a third away from where your finger touched.
- Chinese, Japanese and Korean watermark text now renders correctly instead of as empty boxes.
- Returning visitors get fixes straight away. Browsers had been holding on to old copies of the tool’s code.
- Accuracy pass on every page. We removed statements that were not true, including a claim that images were processed on your own device (they are processed on our server), claims about output formats, and speed and success-rate figures we could not back up. We also corrected a citation in the legal guide.
- Pages load faster (HTTP/2, with images and scripts served directly by the web server).
- The privacy policy now states that the web server keeps a standard access log for about 14 days.
- “What this tool does badly” section on the homepage. It covers where AI inpainting struggles: faces and text under the mask, tiled marks on busy scenes, hard edges and smooth gradients.
- Rewrote the stock photo guide around watermark types rather than individual agencies, and kept the section on re-downloading files you have paid for.
- The About & Contact page is now linked from every page.
- Auto-Detect now finishes on large photos. Before this fix, text detection timed out on photos above about 1.2 megapixels, which covers most real photos. It now stops once it has found the text with confidence, instead of running every pass on every image.
- Touch Up works on large images. On images above about 5 megapixels, the second pass failed because the first result was too large to upload again.
- Fixed three pages that described the wrong download format. Results always download as PNG.
- Before-and-after examples on the guides. Every source image is drawn by us, and every logo or mark in them is invented. Every “after” image is real output from the live tool, not a retouched mock-up.
