Overview

Remove‑ai‑watermarks lets you upload an image and strip AI‑generated watermarks, provenance metadata, and hidden signals. The service works through a web interface that requires no account, and it supports common image formats such as PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, and HEIF. You can try three free removals per IP each day, with output limited to 12 MP unless you pay for higher‑resolution processing.

The tool identifies three layers of AI signals. Visible marks include overlays from services like Google Gemini, Baidu, and Midjourney; these are removed at no cost. Metadata signals cover C2PA Content Credentials, EXIF/XMP tags that label an image as “Made with AI” or indicate the generating model; these are also free to strip. Hidden pixel‑level watermarks such as SynthID require a paid operation, which regenerates the image using a GPU pass and then restores faces. After processing you can download the cleaned file directly; the interface shows a before‑and‑after preview when applicable.

You start by dragging a file (up to 120 MB, 25 MP maximum) onto the upload area. The service scans the image, lists every detected signal, and lets you choose which layers to remove. Quick clean removes only visible marks and metadata, leaving the pixel data unchanged. All‑in‑one mode attempts to remove invisible watermarks as well, but it incurs a $1.49 charge per image. If you need the original resolution above 12 MP or exceed the daily free limit, you must purchase additional processing credits via Stripe. Processed results are kept for 90 days, while original uploads are retained for research for at least 12 months and are never sold.
