When searching for images on the web, we often come across images with semi-transparent words, logos or symbols across them. These watermarks prevent the photos in question from being used without their owner's knowledge.
When I do product tests on Byothe.fr I generally put the site's logo as a watermark to prevent my photos from being reused by anyone.
However, there are tools that can help you remove these marks on photos. Of course professional photo software can do this but there are also online sites like WatermarkRemover. This site makes it very easy to achieve your goals.

If you're on Android, WatermarkRemover also has a free mobile app. It lets you select any photo from your gallery to easily remove the watermark.
No app on iOS but the site WatermarkRemove works great on mobile and allows you to access your camera roll to retrieve any photo.
How does it work ?
To remove the watermark from a photo, this site uses artificial intelligence. This AI will first analyze the photo to detect the location of the watermark. It will then separate the colors of the watermark from those of the image background. Finally, the image behind the watermark will be reconstructed by interpolating the pixels, that is to say that the AI will add pixels whose color will be determined by algorithm according to the neighboring pixels (as for the online image enlargement tools).
This method helps maintain the original image quality without losing any details and without requiring image editing skills to remove watermarks, even those of different colors.
To achieve this result, the developers trained their AI on millions of images to significantly improve the accuracy of their machine learning model.
Is it legal to remove a watermark?
Yes, it is legal to retrieve a photo from the Internet and remove its watermark. What is not legal is to take the processed image and upload it to another website or application without the author's permission or in violation of the rules of the image bank from which it was obtained.
Maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of your period swimwear is essential. Whether you choose to read the terms of use from the website where the image is located to avoid having a legal problem after removing the watermark and using the image freely.
