Remove Watermark from Photo with AI

You have a license, but the photo is “degraded” by a watermark

Have you found a perfect photo in your company archive, but an old company logo stretches across the entire image? Or did a client send you e-shop materials for which you have rights, but you physically only have access to a version with a copyright pattern over the product?

Instead of a clean visual, you’re looking at an image you can’t use. Manual retouching of watermarks – especially semi-transparent ones – is a nightmare in a classic graphic editor. It often leaves “ghosts” or blurry smudges that immediately reveal tampering with the photo.

We’ll show you how to remove watermarks using AI! Here’s a small taste of the feature:

Why classic retouching isn’t enough for watermarks?

Trying to erase a logo or a repeating pattern with common tools usually fails:

• ❌ Transparency issue – Watermarks often change color according to the background, which a “clone stamp” cannot handle.
• ❌ Complex background – If the watermark extends into hair, fur, or detailed textures, manual editing is almost impossible.
• ❌ Time-consuming – Removing a pattern that repeats 20 times in one photo is hours of work.

Clean original without distracting elements

Now imagine this problem disappearing in seconds. You upload the file and get back a clean, original photograph.

Semi-transparent logos disappear. Copyright symbols vanish. AI intelligently reconstructs the image beneath the watermark so faithfully that no one will know a mark was ever there. Your visuals are instantly ready for professional use, whether for the web, print, or a campaign.

Specialized AI designed for watermark removal

GuideGlare uses technology specifically trained to recognize patterns and branding. Unlike general tools, our AI understands what a watermark is and what is part of the object.

Thanks to advanced inpainting (reconstruction), the system can analyze surrounding pixels and “imagine” missing details beneath the removed watermark. It doesn’t matter how large the watermark is, what its transparency is, or whether it repeats in the photo.

How to remove a watermark from a photo step by step

Step 1: Upload the image with the watermark to the GuideGlare AI editor.

Step 2: In the tools menu, select the “Remove text” function.

Step 3: Confirm the action. AI will clean the entire image in an instant.

Step 4: Download the finished image without the watermark.

What can AI erase?

Our tool specializes in graphic elements that overlay the original image:

• Company logos – ideal for rebranding or using older product photos.
• Copyright patterns – repeating © symbols or author names across the entire surface.
• Semi-transparent watermarks – the toughest challenge for graphic designers, a breeze for AI.
• Stock photo logos – if you need to see a clean preview before purchasing a license.
• Blind marks and stamps – digital artifacts embedded by software.

Tip: Do you need to remove a specific date stamp or common text from a sign? For these purposes, we are preparing a special guide on text and date removal.

⚠️ Ethical note: This technology is intended for editing materials for which you have authorization (e.g., lost original, your own archive, client-provided assets). Removing protective elements from other people’s works for illegal use violates copyright laws.

Where AI will save you the most time

🛍️ E-commerce and product management

Did your supplier send you photos of a new collection but forget to remove their logo? Instead of a new product photo, just use AI and erase the logo in seconds.

🏢 Marketing and rebranding

Has your company changed its identity, but you have thousands of photos with an old watermark in your archive? AI can mass-clean them so you can reuse them with your new branding.

🎨 Graphic design

Do you need to show a client a website design with a specific stock photo, but the watermark interferes with the design’s impression? Clean up the preview for presentation (and purchase the license after client approval).
