If you’ve spent any time playing with AI-generated videos, you’ve likely run into the same frustration: you create something impressive, only to have it stamped with a distracting logo. Two of the most popular tools right now are JiMeng (即梦) and its international sibling Dreamina. Both let you generate videos using their "Camera Mode" — where you upload a photo or clip and the AI turns it into a talking or moving character. But both also slap a watermark on the output.
The question is: which one is harder to remove?
Let’s break down the differences, the actual removal process, and why the answer might surprise you.
JiMeng is ByteDance’s Chinese AI video generation app. When you use Camera Mode, you upload a headshot or short video clip. The AI then generates a new video where the character speaks or moves based on your input. The output is impressive — but it comes with a large, semi-transparent "JiMeng" watermark positioned in the bottom-right corner.
The watermark is baked into the video file itself. It’s not a simple overlay that you can crop out without losing important parts of the frame. Because the video is generated server-side, the original unwatermarked source is stored on ByteDance’s CDN. The key is accessing that source directly.
Dreamina is the international version of JiMeng, aimed at users outside China. The interface is in English, and the AI models are nearly identical. However, the watermark treatment is slightly different. Dreamina places its logo in a similar position, but the opacity and size can vary depending on the video length and resolution.
The core technology behind both platforms is the same. ByteDance’s servers generate the video, apply the watermark, and then serve the watermarked version to the user. The original, clean version remains on their servers for a limited time.
| Feature | JiMeng (即梦) | Dreamina |
|---------|--------------|----------|
| Watermark position | Bottom-right, semi-transparent | Bottom-right, semi-transparent |
| Watermark opacity | ~60% | ~50-70% (varies) |
| Original source retention | Yes, on ByteDance CDN | Yes, on ByteDance CDN |
| Ease of manual removal | Difficult (crop ruins framing) | Difficult (crop ruins framing) |
| Tool-based removal | Requires API extraction | Requires API extraction |
| Platform support for removal | OffWatermark supports it | OffWatermark supports it |
At first glance, the watermarks look similar. But there’s a subtle difference: Dreamina’s watermark can sometimes be slightly less opaque, giving the illusion that it might be easier to remove. In practice, neither is easy to remove manually. You can’t just blur it out or crop it — the watermark sits right over the subject’s shoulder or chest area.
You might be tempted to use a video editor to blur or cover the watermark. Here’s why that doesn’t work well:
The only reliable method is to extract the original source file before the watermark was applied. That’s exactly what OffWatermark does — it bypasses the watermarked version and pulls the clean file directly from ByteDance’s servers.
Here’s where JiMeng and Dreamina actually differ for users trying to remove watermarks:
| Aspect | JiMeng (即梦) | Dreamina |
|--------|--------------|----------|
| Language | Chinese | English |
| Target audience | China | Global |
| App availability | iOS/Android (China App Store) | iOS/Android (Global App Store) |
| Watermark removal method | Share link → OffWatermark | Share link → OffWatermark |
| Supported by OffWatermark | Yes | Yes |
The removal process is identical for both. You don’t need a different tool for JiMeng vs Dreamina. OffWatermark handles both because they share the same underlying infrastructure.
Whether you’re using JiMeng (即梦) or Dreamina, the steps are the same:
That’s it. No app installation, no file uploads, no complicated settings. Just a link and a click.
Honestly? Neither is harder than the other — because the difficulty isn’t in the watermark itself. It’s in accessing the original file. Both JiMeng and Dreamina store the clean video on their servers. Both require a server-side extraction method. Both are equally easy (or equally hard) depending on the tool you use.
If you try to do it manually with video editing software, both are equally frustrating. If you use OffWatermark, both are equally simple.
The real question is: which platform are you actually using? If you’re in China or prefer Chinese UI, you’re on JiMeng. If you’re outside China or prefer English, you’re on Dreamina. Either way, OffWatermark has you covered.
OffWatermark isn’t a generic watermark remover that tries to blur or overlay. It’s a dedicated extraction tool that communicates with the platform’s API to retrieve the original file. This means:
You don’t need separate tools for JiMeng and Dreamina. One website handles both.
If you’re creating AI-generated videos with Camera Mode — whether on JiMeng or Dreamina — the watermark is a hurdle, but not a wall. The technology to remove it exists, and it’s simpler than you think.
Don’t waste time trying to blur or crop. Don’t download sketchy apps that claim to remove watermarks. Just use the method that actually works: extract the original source via a share link.
