If you've spent any time generating AI videos this year, you've likely run into the same frustration: stunning output, ruined by a watermark plastered across the corner. Two names keep coming up in this space — JiMeng (即梦) and Dreamina. They're essentially the same product from ByteDance, but with different branding for different markets. And both slap watermarks on videos created through their "Camera Mode" feature.
The question isn't which platform makes better videos. It's which one makes your life easier when you need a clean, watermark-free copy.
Let's clear this up first because the confusion is understandable.
JiMeng (即梦) is ByteDance's AI video generation platform for the Chinese market. It launched with a focus on short-form AI content, and its "Camera Mode" (出镜模式) quickly became popular. You upload a photo or short video clip of yourself, and JiMeng's AI generates a new video where you're the subject — talking, moving, or performing actions — all without you needing to actually film anything.
Dreamina is the international version of the exact same platform. Same underlying tech, same Camera Mode functionality, same watermarking behavior. The difference is language localization and regional availability. If you're accessing it from outside China, you're on Dreamina. Inside China, you're on JiMeng.
Both add a watermark to Camera Mode outputs. And both are supported by OffWatermark.
| Feature | JiMeng (即梦) | Dreamina |
|---------|--------------|----------|
| Platform | ByteDance (China) | ByteDance (International) |
| Camera Mode | Yes | Yes |
| Watermark type | Semi-transparent logo + user ID | Semi-transparent logo + user ID |
| Watermark position | Bottom-right corner | Bottom-right corner |
| Share link format | `jimeng.jianying.com/s/...` | `dreamina.jianying.com/s/...` |
| Removal via OffWatermark | ✅ Supported | ✅ Supported |
Before we talk about removal, you need to understand what you're dealing with.
When you use Camera Mode in either JiMeng or Dreamina, the platform generates a new video file server-side. The original, clean version exists on ByteDance's servers. But the version you see in the app — the one you can share or download — has a watermark baked into it.
This isn't a simple overlay that you can crop out or blur. It's encoded into the video stream. The watermark typically includes:
Traditional editing tools won't help here. Cropping removes content. Blurring looks unprofessional. And screen recording degrades quality to 720p or worse.
The actual removal process works by extracting the original source file from ByteDance's CDN. That's what OffWatermark does — it doesn't "erase" the watermark from the video you see. It fetches the clean version that was generated before the watermark was applied.
Here's the honest answer: there's no difference.
Because JiMeng and Dreamina are the same platform under the hood, the watermark removal process is identical. The share link format is slightly different (one uses `jimeng.jianying.com`, the other uses `dreamina.jianying.com`), but OffWatermark handles both.
The removal process for either platform:
That's it. No app installation. No file uploads. No complicated configuration.
This is where OffWatermark stands out. Because the tool extracts the original source file directly from ByteDance's servers, you get 100% original quality with zero re-encoding. The downloaded video is exactly what was generated before the watermark was applied — same resolution, same bitrate, same frame rate.
Screen recording, by contrast, caps at your display resolution and introduces compression artifacts. Cropping removes valuable visual information. OffWatermark gives you the untouched original.
| Aspect | JiMeng (即梦) | Dreamina |
|--------|--------------|----------|
| Watermark removal difficulty | Easy (via OffWatermark) | Easy (via OffWatermark) |
| Original quality preserved | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Requires app download | ❌ No (web-based tool) | ❌ No (web-based tool) |
| Free option | 3 free extractions | 3 free extractions |
| Cost per extraction after free tier | $0.05 (Starter plan) | $0.05 (Starter plan) |
| Time per extraction | ~10 seconds | ~10 seconds |
| Batch processing | ❌ Not supported | ❌ Not supported |
| Works with Camera Mode only? | No — works with all JiMeng videos | No — works with all Dreamina videos |
Before settling on a proper removal tool, most creators try cheaper alternatives. Here's why they fail:
Screen recording — Loses quality, captures UI elements, introduces lag. Your 4K AI video becomes a 1080p mess.
Cropping — Removes the watermark but also removes part of the frame. For Camera Mode videos where the subject is centered, this might work. For any video with important content near the edges, it's destructive.
Blurring or overlaying — Looks amateurish. If you're using AI-generated videos for professional content, a blurred watermark screams "I don't know what I'm doing."
Third-party mobile apps — Most are scams, malware, or require intrusive permissions. OffWatermark is a website. Nothing to install.
AI video generation is no longer a novelty. It's a production tool. Creators use JiMeng and Dreamina Camera Mode for:
Every single one of these use cases falls apart if a watermark is visible. Viewers associate watermarked content with low effort. Brands won't run ads with watermarked footage. And platforms like YouTube and Instagram may flag or demonetize content with third-party logos.
Removing the watermark isn't about piracy. It's about producing clean, professional content from tools you already use.
OffWatermark keeps it simple:
Compare that to the time you'd waste trying to manually remove watermarks or the quality loss from screen recording. Even the Pro Annual plan costs less than a single stock video license.
JiMeng and Dreamina are the same platform with different regional branding. The watermark removal process is identical for both. Neither is "easier" than the other because they share the same backend infrastructure.
The real question is whether you want to deal with watermarks at all. If you're generating AI videos for any kind of professional or public use, you need a clean output. OffWatermark delivers that in under 30 seconds with zero quality loss.
No app. No uploads. No compromises.
