Features
Built around the work people actually need to finish.
Tap-to-erase auto subject lift
Vision finds the watermark, sticker, or text overlay automatically. Tap to erase the whole region in one motion.
Brush + erase refine
For tricky watermarks (low contrast, partial overlap), brush over the region and the two-stage inpainting model fills it in.
Text-OCR mask
Text watermarks (dates, photo-credit lines, ©) get detected as text first, then masked precisely — cleaner than blob removal.
Before/after slider
Drag to compare. Reset and re-brush if needed. Nothing destructive until you tap Save.
Full-resolution export
Pro and Lifetime tiers export at the source resolution. Free preview tier exports at 1024 px on the long edge.
On-device only
Photos never upload to a Swarmval server. Vision + Core Image + the inpainting model all run locally. Works in Airplane Mode.

Read privacy policy FAQ
Is removing watermarks from photos legal? +
Removing watermarks from photos you own (your own family photos, your own product shots, your own designs) is fine. Removing watermarks from copyrighted stock photos or images you do not have rights to edit can violate copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 1202 in the US). Watermark Remover is intended for photos you own or have rights to edit.
Does iOS already have Clean Up? +
iOS 18.1+ added Clean Up in the Photos app, but it requires Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro+), cannot batch process, and is gated to specific subjects. Watermark Remover works on iPhone 13+, supports batch, and handles text overlays with OCR-precise masking that Clean Up does not.
Will the result look professional? +
For small to medium watermarks on simple backgrounds, the inpainting model produces clean results indistinguishable from a Photoshop content-aware fill. For very large watermarks over busy backgrounds (e.g. half the image), expect visible artifacts. Preview the result before saving.
Do my photos upload anywhere? +
No. All processing happens on-device using iOS Vision and a bundled Core ML model. Swarmval never sees the photo. The app works in Airplane Mode — that is how you can verify it.
Why are watermark remover apps so expensive on the App Store? +
Most charge $4.99 per week — about $260 per year — for what is mostly an iOS Vision wrapper. The category is so notorious that Apple has named it specifically in fleeceware warnings. Watermark Remover ships at standard Swarmval pricing: $4.99/month with a 3-day trial, $14.99/year, or $19.99 lifetime.
Can I batch process a folder of photos? +
Yes, in the Pro tier. Queue up to 50 photos, apply the same removal pattern (auto-subject), export them all at full resolution. Useful for vacation albums where the same date watermark is in every shot.
