Quick answer

PureSnap removes watermarks from images inside your browser. A YOLOv8 detector finds the watermark and an MI-GAN inpainting model rebuilds the area underneath, both running locally through ONNX Runtime Web — the image is never uploaded. Processing and the before/after preview are free after signing in; saving the watermark-free image deducts credits once per image, and downloading the same result again stays free.

Most "AI watermark remover" services upload your image to a server. This one does not: the detection and inpainting models are downloaded once, cached by the browser, and executed on your own device. There is no upload endpoint, so the picture cannot leak from our side — the only thing the server ever sees is a credit being reserved when you save.

Detection is automatic but editable. The detector highlights corner logos, floating badges and text watermarks; you can add to that mask with a brush or erase parts of it, so only the region you marked is inpainted. That keeps untouched parts of the photo byte-for-byte original instead of re-encoding the whole image.

Scope and limits: JPG, PNG and WebP up to 20 MB per image; very large photos are processed at a maximum long edge of 3200 px to keep memory use sane, so the saved result matches that working size. The tool works on still images only — use the parser for videos. Remove watermarks from material you own or are otherwise allowed to edit; stripping a third party's watermark does not grant you rights to their work.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The detector and inpainting models run locally in your browser with ONNX Runtime Web, so the image never leaves your device. The server only handles the credit reservation and refund for saving.

What does the AI watermark remover cost?

Processing and previewing are free, but you need to sign in first. Saving an image deducts credits once per image; downloading that same result again is free. If the export fails, the credits are refunded automatically within about 10 minutes.

Which image formats and sizes are supported?

JPG, PNG and WebP up to 20 MB per image. Photos larger than 3200 px on the long edge are scaled down for processing to limit memory use, and the saved file matches that working size.

Can I use a different detection or inpainting model?

Two default models (YOLOv8n for detection, MI-GAN 512 for inpainting) are hosted by PureSnap and load automatically. On the open-source models page you can find other compatible ONNX models and add them to the tool yourself; some need to be exported to ONNX first.

Does it remove watermarks from videos?

No. This tool handles still images only. For short videos, image galleries and music, paste a share link into the parser on the home page instead.

Is removing a watermark legal?

It depends on the image. Use it on your own material, on images you licensed, or where the rights holder allows it. Removing a watermark from someone else's work does not give you permission to use that work, and the acceptable use policy forbids using the service to infringe copyright.
