Now, off course you can crop an image to remove the watermark, but that would change the aspect ratio of the image. Thankfully, there are apps and software available out there that can easily remove watermark from images without cropping it, but note that these should be used only on images that you own or have copyright too. You can also use these apps on images that are available in the public domain. We don’t recommend using these watermark removers for malicious or personal gains. Do not infringe upon individual or company copyrights. Always ask permission before using and editing an image where required. Let’s begin. Also Read: How to Tell if an Image Has Been Photoshopped
1. Remove Watermark from Images on Windows and macOS
GIMP is a open-source image editor that is often compared with Photoshop. It’s extremely powerful and comes very close to the Adobe warhorse. You are looking for a tool called Clone Stamp in there.
I also got very good results when using the Smudge tool, however, I don’t recommend it under regular circumstances because success will depend on the background and the location of the watermark you are trying to remove. Try both the tools and see how it goes. Maybe, let us know too. Another excellent tool that you can try on Windows and macOS to remove the watermark from images is Pixlr.

Watermark Remover Online is a dedicated site to remove watermarks from images. Just open the site and scroll a little to find the upload option. There is no drag and drop functionality, so choose the file you want to upload and then click on the big pink button that says Remove Watermark. The process is slow and it will take a few minutes, so don’t get impatient and all. You maybe asked to complete a survey before allowed to download the file. Sorry, but that’s how most web tools work. If you don’t like that, you can go for The Paint tool. Just select or highlight the area that contains the watermark. If the watermark is all over the image, still use the red highlighter to cover that area.
When done, click on Erase button to remove the watermark from image. You maybe asked for human verification which is nothing but a captcha.
