I built a free AI tool to remove watermarks from images — here's how it works

I got tired of watermarks ruining otherwise perfect images, so I built
Goodbye Watermark — a free AI-powered tool
that removes watermarks from images in seconds.

How it works

Upload your image, and the AI automatically detects and removes the watermark,
reconstructing the background behind it. No manual selection, no Photoshop skills needed.

Tech behind it

  • Next.js for the frontend
  • AI inpainting model to detect and fill the watermark region
  • Fully client-friendly: just upload and download

Why I built it

Most watermark removal tools are either paid, slow, or require desktop software.
I wanted something dead simple that runs in the browser with no friction.
