Remove the Instagram Reels watermark from your own videos
Moving your own Reels into Shorts, TikTok or ad creatives? A copy saved from Instagram may carry the Instagram mark and your @username. This Reels watermark remover only treats a file you own or are authorized to use. If you still have the camera original, use that instead.
Use only content you own or are authorized to process. Do not upload other people’s copyrighted material.

Three steps — the same flow as the rest of the site
- 1
Sign in and upload
Sign in with Google or Apple, then upload a video or image. You can pick up to 10 videos at a time (batch permission and duration/credit limits still apply). Images one at a time.
- 2
Choose how to erase
For a vertical Reel, Smart Erase can track the @username corner without boxes. Short Video Pro, when listed, wants two boxes on that handle corner (each up to 20% of the frame).
- 3
Preview and export
When you qualify, try a free-effect preview first. With credits, export at the original resolution. Web and app share the same account.
Prefer the original take
- 1
Still have the camera or edit file from before you posted the Reel? Upload that. A platform corner mark was never on it.
- 2
A Reel saved from Instagram may show the Instagram mark and @username. Only upload your own post, and only if you are allowed to reuse it.
- 3
Check the preview before credits are spent. An @handle over a patterned wall or a crowd can leave a faint leftover.
Frequently asked questions
Can I remove the Instagram Reels watermark from someone else's video?
No. Only process videos you made or are authorized to use. A username on the file identifies the publisher; removing it from other people's content may infringe their rights.
Does this also work on Instagram Stories I saved from my own account?
If the Story is a file on your device that you own, you can upload it. This page focuses on Reels-style corner marks; Stories use the same erase types.
Can I paste an Instagram Reels link?
No. VidEraser does not fetch videos from Instagram or any other platform. Save your own Reel to your device with Instagram's own options, then upload the file here.
Which type should I pick for a vertical Reel?
Smart Erase follows the mark without boxes. If Short Video Pro is listed for your account, draw two boxes on the corner (each up to 20% of the frame).
Is VidEraser affiliated with Instagram?
No. VidEraser is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Instagram.
What if I still have the original take from the camera?
Use that file. It never carried a platform mark, so it is cleaner than removing a mark after you saved the Reel.
