Watermark Remover

Remove watermarks from images and videos using AI inpainting.

Features

• Manual masking — Brush, Box, or Eraser tools
• SAM ✦ — Click on the watermark, AI segments it precisely (Segment Anything Model)
• Auto Detect — EasyOCR detects text watermarks automatically
• Three inpainting engines:
  • OpenCV — instant, solid quality
  • LaMa — ML-based, better quality
  • Stable Diffusion — near-invisible results (~20s on GPU)
• Before/After slider — drag to compare original vs result
• Video support — Fast mode (stamp first frame) or Thorough (per-frame inpainting)
• Audio preserved — original audio track remuxed into output
