For paid licenses
Use this when you've licensed an image and only have the watermarked comp. Best practice: re-download the unwatermarked file from your Shutterstock account first — that's the easy fix.

Remove Shutterstock watermark
For licensed Shutterstock images. Not the tool for previews.
Already paid for the license but somehow ended up with the watermarked preview file? Mask Shutterstock's tiled overlay, clean it, and continue with the asset you've already paid for. The honest version of this tool — read on before uploading.
Not for unpaid previews
Removing watermarks from preview images you haven't licensed violates Shutterstock's terms and is against the law in most places. Our rights confirmation isn't a loophole — sites and clients can reverse-image-search.
How it works
Upload the comp, mask the diagonal Shutterstock pattern with brush plus uploaded mask for tighter edges, confirm rights, then run cleanup. Best Repair quality (Pro) helps on busy backgrounds.
