I refused to pay subscriptions just to delete an ending, so I "Vibe Coded" a CapCut Watermark Remover (No Login)

The "Vibe Coding" Era 🌊

I confess. I haven't written a single line of boilerplate code in months. And I love it.
We are in the era of Vibe Coding.

Last week, I had a specific problem as a content creator: I love using CapCut for its templates, but I hate that floating ID watermark and the black ending screen that ruins the loop.

I googled "remove capcut watermark". The results?

  • "Sign up for a free trial" πŸ›‘
  • "Upload limit: 10MB" πŸ›‘
  • "Watch this 30s ad first" πŸ›‘

The "old me" would have sighed and opened video editing software to crop it manually.
The "Vibe Coding me" opened my AI editor (Cursor) and said: "Let's build a web tool to kill these watermarks. Fast."

The Challenge: Why existing tools fail

Removing a watermark isn't just about cropping or blurring (which looks ugly). It requires AI In-paintingβ€”reconstructing the missing pixels behind the logo.

Most tools hide this feature behind a paywall or a login wall. I wanted a solution that was:

  1. Browser-based (No download).
  2. No Login (I value my privacy).
  3. Specialized for CapCut (Detects the specific ending frames).

How I "Vibe Coded" it in a weekend ⚑

I focused on the Logic, and let AI handle the Syntax.

  • The Prompt: "Build a React drag-and-drop zone. Connect it to a Python backend using an in-painting model. Optimize it for TikTok and CapCut video formats."
  • The Vibe: I acted as the Product Manager and the CTO. The AI was my junior dev team.
  • The Tech Stack: Next.js for the frontend, Python/FastAPI for the inference engine.

Because I didn't spend weeks writing CSS from scratch, I could focus entirely on the User Experience and the AI Model performance.

The Result: VideoWatermarkRemove.com πŸš€

I launched VideoWatermarkRemove.com.

It is the epitome of Vibe Coding: simple, fast, and solves exactly one problem.

Here is the specialized CapCut interface I built:

[πŸ‘‡ Action: Drag and drop your Screenshot here πŸ‘‡]
(Delete this line after uploading. Make sure the screenshot shows the "Remove CapCut" interface)

Key Features:

  1. 🚫 No Login Required: Just drop your file and get the clean video.
  2. βœ‚οΈ Specialized CapCut Mode: I fine-tuned the logic to handle CapCut Watermark Removal better than generic tools. It attempts to reconstruct the text area rather than just blurring it.
  3. ⚑ Fast Processing: Optimized for short-form content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts).

Why this matters (The "No-BS" Philosophy)

If you are a dev or a creator, you know the pain of "Software Bloat."
I built this tool to be the opposite.

  • No "Credits system."
  • No "Email capture."
  • Just a clean tool for the community.

Try it out

I am currently optimizing the model to better handle moving watermarks (like the bouncing TikTok logo).

I would love for you to test the CapCut Mode:

If you encounter any edge cases (e.g., specific 4K templates), let me know in the comments! I'll just prompt the AI to fix it. πŸ˜‰

Happy Vibe Coding! 🌊✨
