About this tool
Remove watermarks from images using AI-powered detection and smart inpainting. Supports logos, text, transparent, and repeated watermarks with multiple selection tools and export options.
Watermark Remover erases a marked region from an image by inpainting it: every selected pixel is rebuilt from the nearest unselected pixel found along each search direction, weighted by 1/r² so closer surrounding detail dominates the fill. You mark the watermark with a brush or rectangle (or run auto-detect), pick a removal strength, and export the repaired image as PNG, JPG, WebP, TIFF or AVIF. It is meant for images you own or are licensed to edit — your own stock purchases, drafts you exported with a preview mark, or scans with a stamp over the content.
Open Watermark Remover on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Use "Drag & Drop or Browse Files" to load a JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, BMP, TIFF or AVIF image up to 50 MB.
Mask the watermark with the Brush Tool or Rectangle (or AI Auto Detect), pick a Removal Mode from Fast to Professional, set Feather, then press Apply Removal.
In the Export panel choose PNG, JPG, WEBP, TIFF or AVIF and a Quality level, then Download Image saves watermark-removed with that extension.
Fast averages a 7×7 neighbourhood, while balanced, high-quality and ultra search 20, 40 and 60 pixels outward and professional samples all eight directions instead of four.
The selection is blurred by a feather radius (3 px by default) and re-thresholded, so the repaired patch blends into surrounding texture rather than leaving a rectangle.
Each removal, enhancement and reset is pushed onto a history stack, so you can step back and retry a different mode on the same source without reloading the file.
Only when you hold the rights to the image or have the owner's permission — removing a watermark to reuse someone else's photo is copyright infringement in most jurisdictions, and in the US it can also violate the DMCA's prohibition on stripping copyright management information. This is general information, not legal advice; check with a lawyer for your specific situation.
It samples eight reference points around the image border, then flags any interior pixel whose closest match to those references is more than 15 units away in RGB Euclidean distance and that has at least four neighbours differing by more than 30. That heuristic finds high-contrast overlays on flat backgrounds well, but it will also catch genuine detail in busy photos, so review the result before exporting.
Up to 50 MB per image, in JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF or AVIF; anything wider or taller than 4096 pixels is scaled down to that limit before editing. Export is PNG, JPG, WebP, TIFF or AVIF, with quality defaulting to 92 for the lossy formats.
Because the fill interpolates surrounding colours rather than synthesising new texture, so it reconstructs smooth areas — sky, walls, gradients, bokeh — cleanly but softens over fine detail like grass, hair or type. Shrink the selection to the mark itself, try the professional mode for eight-direction sampling, then apply the sharpen enhancement to the result.
