Use Case
Remove Watermark from Stock Photo
Stock photo agencies (Shutterstock, Getty, Adobe Stock, iStock) stamp diagonal preview watermarks across comps so people can't use them unpaid. If you've already licensed an image and lost the unwatermarked original, or you're a contributor cleaning up your own portfolio previews, our AI can erase the preview pattern. Please use this only on photos you have the rights to.
Key features
Handles diagonal preview patterns
Repeating diagonal text and logo patterns are detected across the whole image and removed in one pass.
Rebuilds detail behind the pattern
Skin, text, fabric, and other content under the watermark is reconstructed using surrounding pixels.
Works on large comp images
Preview-resolution comps at 1024×768 or 1920×1080 are processed in a single pass.
Use only on images you've licensed
This tool is for licensed images where you've lost the full-res file, or for your own contributor portfolio.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it legal to remove a watermark from a stock photo?
- If you've licensed the image and lost the unwatermarked version, removing the preview watermark is generally fine — you already paid for the usage. Using the remover on a preview you haven't licensed is copyright infringement.
- Can I use this to download free stock photos?
- No. If you want free stock photos, use a free-to-use provider like Unsplash, Pexels, or Pixabay. Removing watermarks from previews you haven't paid for is against the law in most countries.
- Will the underlying photo look undamaged?
- For most preview watermarks (diagonal text patterns), the result is very clean. Aggressive heavy-tiled watermarks covering critical detail (faces, text) may need manual cleanup.
- Can I remove watermarks from several licensed stock photos?
- Process one image at a time. Paid plans raise your monthly removal limit for teams with a larger backlog.
- What about contributor portfolios?
- If you're a stock contributor cleaning up your own portfolio previews for re-upload elsewhere, our tool handles that workflow fine.
