Remove the YouTube Shorts watermark from your own videos
Cross-posting your own Shorts to Reels, TikTok or your site? This YouTube Shorts watermark remover only treats marks already in a file you own. The branding watermark in YouTube Studio is a player overlay—turn it off there. Do not upload other people's clips.
Use only content you own or are authorized to process. Do not upload other people’s copyrighted material.

Before
After
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
On the type page, choose Smart Erase to follow a corner mark across the clip without drawing boxes. If Short Video Pro is listed for your account, draw two boxes on that 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.
Studio overlay first, then the file
- 1
Only the Studio branding watermark? That image sits on the YouTube player and is not burned into the file. Turn it off in YouTube Studio instead of uploading.
- 2
Still have the edit from before you posted the Short? Use that file. It never carried a platform mark, so it is cleaner than any removal.
- 3
Review the preview before spending credits. A busy background behind a corner mark can leave slight traces.
Frequently asked questions
Can I remove the YouTube Shorts watermark from someone else's video?
No. Only process videos you made or are authorized to use. A channel name on the file shows who published it, and removing that mark from other people's content may infringe their rights.
I set a branding watermark in YouTube Studio. Do I need this tool?
Usually no. That branding watermark is a player overlay and is not burned into the video file. Turn it off in YouTube Studio if you only want it gone on playback.
Can I paste a YouTube Shorts link?
No. VidEraser doesn't download videos from YouTube or any other platform. Save your own Short to your device with YouTube's own options, then upload the file here.
Which type should I pick for a vertical Short?
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 YouTube?
No. VidEraser is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube.
Does this also work on landscape YouTube videos I own?
Yes. Upload any video file you own. This page focuses on Shorts-style corner marks; landscape clips use the same erase types.
