How does in-browser watermark removal work?

ClearPix uses MI-GAN, an inpainting neural network from Picsart Research (ICCV 2023), compiled to ONNX and executed by ONNX Runtime Web. Automatic detection combines a text-detection model with visual heuristics; when you confirm the boxes (or paint your own mask), the model analyzes the surrounding texture and synthesizes what should be underneath — on your own GPU via WebGPU, or on your CPU via WebAssembly. The image data never travels over the network, which makes this the most private way to clean up your photos.

Tips for best results

  • Let auto-detect run first — dismiss any wrong boxes with one click, then Apply.
  • When brushing, cover the whole watermark, slightly overlapping its edges.
  • Use a smaller brush for thin text and a larger one for logos.
  • Run the remover twice over stubborn areas — each pass refines the fill.

Only process images you own or have explicit permission to modify. Removing a watermark does not change the copyright status of the underlying content.

How it works

1

Upload the preview image

Drop the Shutterstock comp (preview) image you are working with. It opens locally — nothing is uploaded.

2

Run Deep detection

Shutterstock's diagonal tiled pattern covers the whole image, so one click of Auto-detect with Deep detection finds the repeat text and logo blocks for you.

3

Download the result

AI inpainting rebuilds the covered pixels at full resolution. Touch up any leftovers with the brush and re-run.

Your file never leaves your device. All AI processing runs locally in your browser on your own hardware — there is no upload, no queue, and no copy stored on any server. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and everything still works.
