# RemoveWatermark.org

> A free, browser-based tool that removes watermarks, logos and unwanted text from images
> using LaMa AI inpainting, and can also add text watermarks. No account, no signup, and
> images are processed in memory rather than stored.

RemoveWatermark.org is an independent tool, not a company product. It runs the open-source
LaMa inpainting model on its own servers — it does not forward images to any third-party AI
API. Uploaded images are held in memory for the duration of the request and are never written
to disk.

## What it does

- **Remove watermarks, logos and text.** The user marks the area to remove, and LaMa inpainting
  reconstructs what should be behind it. Selection can be manual (brush), automatic (EasyOCR
  text detection), or semi-automatic (a flood-fill "Smart Brush" that expands from a tapped pixel
  by colour similarity).
- **Fine Detail mode** produces a tighter mask with gentler blending, for watermarks over faces
  or intricate textures.
- **Touch Up** runs a second inpainting pass over remaining artifacts.
- **Batch processing** applies the same workflow to multiple images in one session.
- **Add watermark** is the reverse tool: overlays custom text with adjustable opacity, size,
  colour, position and tiling.

## Intended use

The tool is intended for images the user owns or has permission to edit: removing a watermark
from your own photography, clearing a logo from an image you licensed, cleaning up text from a
screenshot you captured, or removing a watermark from a design you created and paid for.

Removing a watermark does not grant rights to an image. Stripping a watermark from someone
else's copyrighted work and then using it is copyright infringement regardless of the tool used,
and in some jurisdictions removing rights-management information carries separate liability.
The [legal guide](https://www.removewatermark.org/blog/is-removing-watermarks-illegal) covers
this distinction in detail.
