If you've spent any time creating videos with JiMeng (即梦), ByteDance's AI video generation app, you've likely run into the same frustration I did. You craft the perfect video using Camera Mode — uploading your photo or footage, letting the AI work its magic — and then you see it: that watermark stamped across your creation.
The good news? You don't have to settle for watermarked exports. Here's exactly how to strip that watermark off your JiMeng Camera Mode videos, clean and simple.
JiMeng (即梦) is ByteDance's dedicated AI video generation platform. Think of it as a creative sandbox where you can generate videos from text prompts, images, or even your own face. Camera Mode (出镜模式) is one of its most popular features — you upload a photo or short video clip of yourself, and JiMeng's AI generates a new video where you're the subject, often in a different scene or setting.
The catch? Videos created through Camera Mode come with a visible watermark by default. This is standard practice across AI content tools, but it becomes a problem when you want to use that video professionally — for social media, client work, or personal projects where a clean look matters.
The watermark isn't just a logo. It's a persistent overlay that can distract viewers and make your content look less polished. Removing it isn't about stealing someone else's work — it's about taking full ownership of the AI-assisted content you created.
Before we get into the removal process, a quick clarification. Dreamina is the international version of JiMeng. If you're using Dreamina outside of China, the same Camera Mode watermark issue applies. The removal method covered here works for both versions — whether you're dealing with a "jimeng watermark" or a "dreamina watermark," the underlying process is identical.
Here's the workflow I use. It takes about 30 seconds once you know what you're doing.
Open the JiMeng app on your phone. Navigate to the video you created with Camera Mode that has the watermark you want to remove. It doesn't matter if the video is still in your drafts or already published — both work.
Tap the share icon (usually an arrow or three dots). From the share menu, select "Copy Link" or the equivalent option. The link will look something like:
`https://jimeng.jianying.com/s/xxxxx`
This is the key piece of information. JiMeng's servers associate this link with the original, unwatermarked source file. Your job is to let a tool access that source.
This is where the magic happens. Open any browser on your phone, tablet, or computer and go to offwatermark.com. There's no app to download, no software to install. It's a web-based tool that handles the extraction server-side.
You'll need to register with your email address. The free tier gives you 3 extractions — enough to test the service and see if it meets your needs. No credit card required for the trial.
Paste the share link you copied from JiMeng into the input box on OffWatermark. Click the "Extract Watermark-Free Video" button. The server will fetch the original source file from JiMeng's CDN — the same file that exists before the watermark was applied during export.
Once processing completes, you'll see a preview of your video without the watermark. Click "Save Video" to download it directly to your device. That's it. The video is in its original quality — 100% resolution, no re-encoding, no quality loss.
You might be wondering: why not just use a video editor to blur or crop the watermark? Here's why that approach falls short.
Cropping removes part of your frame. If the watermark sits in a corner, you lose visual real estate. For Camera Mode videos where composition matters, this is rarely acceptable.
Blurring looks amateurish. A smudged watermark draws more attention than a clean one.
Overlaying another element on top works only if the watermark is in a fixed position you can cover — but it still feels hacky.
OffWatermark's approach is different. Instead of manipulating the watermarked video, it extracts the original source file directly from the platform's servers. The share link you copied contains a reference to the clean, pre-watermark version. The tool simply retrieves that.
This is why the output is identical to what you'd get if JiMeng offered a "download without watermark" option — which, for now, it doesn't.
While JiMeng Camera Mode is the focus here, the same tool handles watermarks from multiple platforms. If you create content across different channels, this is worth knowing:
All of these add platform watermarks to user-uploaded videos. OffWatermark can extract the clean source from each one using the same paste-and-extract workflow.
Before you start removing watermarks from every video you find, let's address the elephant in the room. Removing watermarks should only be done for content you personally created. If you generated a video using JiMeng's Camera Mode with your own photo, that video is yours. The watermark is a platform-imposed limitation, not a creator credit system.
Removing watermarks from someone else's content without permission is a different story. It violates platform terms of service and potentially copyright law. OffWatermark is a tool for creators to reclaim their own work, not a shortcut to repurpose others' content.

JiMeng's Camera Mode is a powerful AI video generator, but the watermark it applies can limit how you use your creations. The extraction method outlined here gives you back control — clean, original-quality video without the distraction of a platform overlay.
Whether you're dealing with a "jimeng watermark" from the Chinese version or a "dreamina watermark" from the international release, the process is the same. Copy the link, paste it into OffWatermark, and download your clean video.
