Video Watermark Remover API Documentation
Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Remove Kling and Seedance watermarks, logos, captions and text from videos while preserving quality; supports many formats and 10-minute files. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
Remove Sora 2 watermarks, logos, captions, lower-thirds, and other unwanted on-screen text—while preserving the original look of your footage. Upload your video and get a clean result with minimal artifacts. If you need upscaling instead, try our AI Video Upscaler. No local setup required!
Why it looks great
- Temporal-aware inpainting: avoids flicker, keeps motion stable across frames.
- Clean plate reconstruction: rebuilds occluded details (textures, grain, lighting) beneath watermarks and captions.
- Smart text/logo targeting: robust to semi-transparent overlays, moving corner bugs, ticker bars, and burned-in subs.
- Edge & texture fidelity: preserves edges and fine detail without smearing or over-smoothing.
- Adaptive masking: optional user hints accelerate and improve results on complex, fast-moving overlays.
Limits and Performance
- Max clip length per job: up to 10 minutes
- Processing speed: approximately 5–20 seconds of wall time to process 1 second of video (varies by overlay complexity, resolution, and queue load)
Pricing
> Billing duration: Input media duration is rounded up to whole seconds. The minimum billed duration is 3 seconds; shorter inputs are billed as 3 seconds. Existing per-5-second rate tables remain unchanged.
Per-second billing with a 3-second minimum. The table below lists prices per 5 seconds for easy comparison.
| Task | Cost per 5 seconds |
|---|---|
| Watermark Removal | $0.05 |
Billing Rules
- Minimum charge: 3 seconds
- Per-second rate = (price per 5 seconds) ÷ 5
- Billed duration = video length in seconds (rounded up), with a 3-second minimum
- Total cost = billed duration × per-second rate
How to Use
- Upload video: Upload the video you want to deal with.
- Submit the job: Click the Run button.
- Preview & download: review the cleaned clip and download it.
Notes
- Longer videos will require longer processing times.
- Please ensure your video upload format and URL are correct.
- The price displayed on the “Run” button is only an estimated reference; the final, accurate price will be based on the actual deduction.
