So you've spent hours crafting the perfect AI video — tweaking the prompt, adjusting the camera angle, refining the motion — and then you see it. That faint logo, the platform mark, or the semi-transparent overlay sitting right on your final render.
If you're using Dreamina (the international version) or JiMeng (即梦) (the Chinese version), both from ByteDance, that watermark is baked into the "Camera Mode" output. It's the trade-off for using a free-tier AI video generator. But there's a clean way around it — no screen recording, no cropping, no quality loss.
This guide covers exactly how to get a pristine, watermark-free video from Dreamina and JiMeng, using the right tool for the job.

Dreamina and JiMeng are ByteDance's AI video generation platforms. They let you upload a photo or short video clip, and the AI generates a new video featuring your face or chosen subject in a completely different scene — this is what they call Camera Mode (出镜模式).
The results can be stunning. But the free tier comes with a persistent watermark overlaid on the final export. This isn't just a corner logo — it's often a semi-transparent mark that runs across the video, making it unusable for repurposing, sharing on other platforms, or professional use.
The watermark isn't added during rendering. It's applied server-side when the video is exported. That means you can't just "turn it off" in settings. You need to extract the original source file — the pre-watermark version that the platform stores on its CDN.

There's a lot of bad advice out there. People suggest cropping the video, adding a blur effect, or using sketchy desktop software that re-encodes the file. All of those methods degrade quality. You lose resolution, introduce artifacts, or end up with a smaller frame.
The correct method is source-file extraction. Instead of trying to remove the watermark pixel by pixel, you pull the original unwatermarked video directly from the platform's servers.
Here's the exact workflow:
That's it. The video downloads in 100% original quality — same resolution, same bitrate, zero re-encoding. The watermark is simply not there because you're fetching the source file, not the exported version.

This same method works across multiple platforms. If you create content for Douyin (抖音), TikTok, Kuaishou (快手), or Xiaohongshu (小红书), you've probably noticed those platforms add their own watermarks — usually a logo in the corner plus a user ID tag.
These watermarks are also applied server-side during export. And just like with Dreamina and JiMeng, the original unwatermarked video is stored on the platform's CDN. You just need the right extraction tool.
OffWatermark handles all five platforms in one place:
| Platform | Link Example |
|----------|--------------|
| JiMeng (即梦) | `https://jimeng.jianying.com/s/xxxxx` |
| Douyin (抖音) | `https://v.douyin.com/xxxxx` |
| TikTok | `https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/xxxxx` |
| Kuaishou (快手) | `https://v.kuaishou.com/xxxxx` |
| Xiaohongshu (小红书) | `https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/xxxxx` |
No matter which platform you're pulling from, the workflow is identical: copy the share link, paste it into the website, and download the clean file.

1. Screen recording. This is the most common workaround, but it destroys quality. You lose resolution, introduce compression artifacts, and the video often has frame drops. Plus, it still shows the watermark if you're recording the playback.
2. Cropping the watermark out. You can technically crop the video to remove a corner logo, but you're losing a significant portion of the frame. For vertical videos (9:16), cropping even 10% ruins the composition.
3. Using mobile apps that claim to "remove watermarks." Most of these apps re-encode the video, which means quality loss. Many also have privacy issues — they upload your video to their own servers. OffWatermark processes everything server-side and doesn't store your files.
4. Searching for "jimeng watermark removal" or "dreamina watermark removal" and finding outdated tools. The platform links and API endpoints change frequently. A tool that worked six months ago may be broken now. OffWatermark is actively maintained and updated.

OffWatermark offers a free tier: 3 extractions with a registered account. That's enough to test it with your own videos.
If you need more:
There are no hidden limits on video length or resolution. A 5-minute 4K video costs the same extraction credit as a 15-second clip.

If you're creating AI videos with Dreamina or JiMeng, the watermark is the only thing standing between you and a clean, professional result. Don't settle for screen recording or cropping. Use source-file extraction to get the original video in full quality.
The process takes about 30 seconds from start to finish. Copy the link, paste it, download. No apps to install, no quality loss, no complicated settings.
