How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your watermarked image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Higher resolution images with clearly visible watermarks produce the best results, as the AI can distinguish the overlay from the image content.

Expect: Small corner watermark: 15-20 seconds. Large overlay across the image: 25-35 seconds and may need a refinement pass.
Describe the watermark to remove

Type 'remove the watermark from this photo' or be more specific: 'erase the SAMPLE text overlay across the center.' For small watermarks in corners, you can say 'remove the logo watermark in the bottom right.' The AI understands what watermarks are—no selection needed.

Tip: Describe the watermark type for best results: 'text watermark', 'logo stamp', 'date stamp', or 'stock photo overlay' helps the AI target the right element.

Copy one of these to get started:

General watermark removal remove the watermark from this photo and restore the image underneath cleanly

Stock photo text overlay remove the stock photo text watermark across the center of this image, restore all details behind it

Tiled repeating watermark remove the repeating watermark pattern across the entire image, restore the clean photo underneath
Try This →

Semi-transparent overlay remove the semi-transparent watermark overlay and restore the original colors and details underneath
Try This →

Multiple watermarks remove all watermarks, logos, and text overlays from this photo, restore the clean image
Try This →
Review the removal

Check that the watermark is completely gone. Zoom in on where it was—the underlying image should be smooth and consistent with no ghosting, discoloration, or texture mismatch.
Refine with markers if needed

If traces of the watermark remain—especially with semi-transparent overlays—tap markers on the remaining visible areas and regenerate. Most watermarks are removed cleanly on the first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

Remove unwanted watermark from professional photo shoots, client deliverables, and stock photography to achieve clean, polished results.

Common Scenarios

Client portrait sessions where the watermark appeared unexpectedly in frame
Stock photography that needs the watermark removed for broader commercial appeal
Product photography with distracting watermark in the background

Best Practices

Zoom in and place a marker directly on the watermark for the most accurate removal
Run a second pass if any faint outlines or shadows remain after the first edit
Describe the desired background fill — e.g., 'replace the watermark with clean wall' for predictable results

📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

Clean up property photos by removing watermark that distract buyers and lower perceived home value.

Common Scenarios

Listing photos where the watermark clutters the frame and makes rooms look smaller
Exterior shots with watermark that hurt curb appeal
Open house photos that need the watermark removed before uploading to MLS

Best Practices

Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
After removing the watermark, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or removed something that wasn't a watermark

Why: The AI mistook part of the image content for the watermark, especially when text or logos are part of the actual photo.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific watermark you want removed, then regenerate: remove only this marked watermark

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS overlay specifically.' Use them when the image contains text that should stay.

Ghost outline or shadow of watermark still visible

Why: The watermark had a semi-transparent effect that altered the underlying pixels. Removing the visible text left the color shift behind.

Try: remove the watermark and also fix the color shift and ghost outline it left behind, restore original colors

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'fix the color shift' addresses the tonal change that semi-transparent watermarks leave even after text removal.

Area under watermark looks different from the rest of the photo

Why: The AI reconstructed the covered area but didn't perfectly match the surrounding texture, lighting, or detail level.

Try: Tap markers on the mismatched area and regenerate: blend this area to match the surrounding image seamlessly

Try This →

Tip: A targeted second pass on the reconstructed area usually fixes texture mismatches quickly.

Repeating watermark was only partially removed

Why: Tiled or repeating watermarks have many instances, and the AI may have caught most but missed some in less obvious areas.

Try: Tap markers on the remaining watermark instances and regenerate: remove these remaining watermark traces

Try This →

Tip: For tiled watermarks, do a full-image pass first, then use markers on any remaining instances in a second pass.

Image quality degraded where watermark was removed

Why: The watermark covered a large area, and the AI had to reconstruct too much content, resulting in blurry or low-detail fill.

Try: remove the watermark and ensure the restored area has the same sharpness and detail as the rest of the photo

Try This →

Tip: For large watermarks, try a two-step approach: remove the watermark first, then enhance the restored area with 'sharpen this area.'

Quick answers

Do I need to trace over the watermark before removing it?

No! Just type 'remove the watermark' and the AI detects and removes it automatically. The AI understands what watermarks look like—text overlays, logo stamps, date stamps. Only use markers if the AI removes the wrong element or misses part of the watermark.

How do I remove a watermark from a photo for free?
