How to remove a watermark from a video

The best results come from a tight box and the right mode for the footage behind the mark. Here's the order that works.

  1. 01

    Load a short clip with a fixed watermark

    Drop an MP4, WebM or MOV file. It plays from your own device; nothing is uploaded. The tool works on marks that stay in one place for the whole clip, like a channel logo or a camcorder timestamp.

  2. 02

    Snap the box to a corner, then tighten it

    Pick Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Top Right or Top Left, then fine-tune position and size with the sliders. Width runs from 4% to 60% of the frame and height from 4% to 50%. Make the box only just larger than the mark: every extra pixel is a pixel you'll soften or cover.

  3. 03

    Choose how to hide it

    Smart Blur smears the mark into its surroundings, Border Fill paints the box with colours taken from its edges, and Solid Bar covers it with a colour you pick. The table below shows which to choose for which footage.

  4. 04

    Scrub through the whole clip before exporting

    Drag the timeline through bright scenes, dark scenes and fast motion. A box that looks perfect on one frame can stand out on another, especially with Border Fill.

  5. 05

    Export in real time and keep the tab visible

    Export plays the video once while recording the cleaned frames, so a 2-minute clip takes about 2 minutes. Keep the tab open and in view: browsers pause drawing in hidden tabs, which would freeze frames in the output.

Blur, fill or cover: picking a mode

A watermark burned into a video is part of every frame's pixels. There's no hidden layer to switch off, so the choice is really about what kind of patch will be least noticeable. All three modes are applied to every frame as the video plays.

ModeWhat it doesWorks best onStruggles with
Smart BlurShrinks the box area and stretches it back up, 6 to 40 strengthBusy, moving backgrounds where a soft smudge blends inLarge boxes; the blur becomes an obvious frosted patch
Border FillBlends the colours just outside the box across the inside, every frameStatic, evenly coloured areas such as sky, floor or a dark cornerDetailed or moving backgrounds; the fill can flicker
Solid BarCovers the box with one colour you chooseLetterbox bars, black borders and lower-third stripsAnything in the middle of the picture

Here's what box size means in real pixels. The default box is 20% wide and 14% tall. On a 1920 × 1080 video that's 384 × 151 px, about 2.8% of the frame. With Smart Blur at strength 16, that 384 px wide area is shrunk to 48 px and stretched back, which is why the logo's shapes disappear. Halve the box to 10% × 7% and you're softening a quarter as much picture, so the patch is much harder to spot.

Where it helps

Timecodes burned into old camcorder footage

Bright date and time digits usually sit in a bottom corner over a dark or steady area. Border Fill tends to hide them better than blur, which would leave a glowing smudge.

Your own channel logo on an archived upload

If you've lost the clean master of a video you published with a corner logo, a tight Smart Blur box gets you a usable copy for a new edit or platform.

Notification pop-ups in a screen recording

A toast with a name or phone number that appeared during a fixed stretch of a screencast can be covered with a Solid Bar matched to the app's background colour.

Letterboxed footage with text in the black bars

Subtitles or credits placed in the black bars above or below the picture disappear cleanly under a black Solid Bar, with no visible patch at all.

What to expect from the export

Because everything runs in your browser, the export works differently from desktop software. The video is played once from start to finish, each frame is drawn to a canvas with your chosen mode applied, and the canvas is recorded at up to 30 frames per second. A 3-minute clip therefore takes about 3 minutes, and at roughly 3.5 Mbps it produces about 79 MB of video before audio.

  • It's a re-encode. Every frame is compressed again, so fine detail and sharp text elsewhere in the picture may soften a little, most noticeably on 4K sources.
  • 60 fps becomes 30 fps. Fast sports or gaming footage will look less smooth after export.
  • Keep the tab in front. Switching tabs or minimising the window during export can freeze frames in the result.
  • Keep your original. Check the exported file, including its sound, before deleting the source.

Frequently asked questions

No. The video plays in your browser, each frame is drawn onto a canvas, and your browser's MediaRecorder API records the result. The file never leaves your device.
It hides it. The pixels under a burned-in watermark were never recorded, so no tool can restore them exactly. Blur, edge fill and solid cover each trade the logo for a less noticeable patch.
The cleaned frames are recorded while the video plays at normal speed, which is what lets the browser do the work without any server. A 30-second clip takes about 30 seconds; a 10-minute video takes about 10.
If your browser can record MP4, you get MP4; otherwise you get WebM. Resolution matches the source, frame rate is capped at 30 fps, and the video is encoded at about 3.5 Mbps. That's roughly 26 MB per minute before audio, and 4K or 60 fps sources will look softer than the original.
In browsers that allow capturing audio from a video element, yes, the original soundtrack is recorded alongside the cleaned picture. Where that isn't allowed, the export falls back to video only, so check the result before deleting your original.
No. The box stays in the same place for the whole clip. A watermark that floats, bounces or switches corners partway through will escape the box. For those, a video editor with motion tracking is the right tool.
There's no fixed limit, but the whole recording is held in memory until you download it. Clips of a few minutes work well on most computers; very long or high-resolution videos may run out of memory, especially on phones.
On a still, evenly coloured background, Border Fill is often invisible. On moving or detailed footage, Smart Blur at a moderate strength usually draws less attention than a fill that flickers.
Use it on footage you own or have permission to edit. Hiding the logo on someone else's copyrighted video to repost it as your own can infringe their rights and breaks most platforms' rules, and in the US removing copyright management information is separately restricted under the DMCA.
