Across 4 opaque text blocks on one 2000 x 1400 JPEG, unwatermark.ai erased 0 of 4 and returned a 166,854-byte 1194 x 836 JPEG; phototune.ai erased 0 of 4 and returned a 1,789,632-byte 2000 x 1400 PNG.
| Tool | Text blocks erased (of 4) | Output size | Download bytes | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| unwatermark.ai | 0 of 4 | 1194 x 836 px (1.0 MP) | 166,854 | JPEG |
| phototune.ai | 0 of 4 | 2000 x 1400 px (2.8 MP) | 1,789,632 | PNG |
None of the measured downloads erased any of the 4 opaque text blocks, so for this kind of lettering use a manual editor such as remove text from image instead.
Tools that returned no file
- watermarkremover.io produced no downloadable output file: HTTP 403 Cloudflare security challenge (a 'please wait / security verification' interstitial), 0 upload controls present; desktop and mobile UAs both failed. No output file was obtained, so no output numbers exist for this tool.
Measurement date and the day before
Every number on this page was measured on 2026-11-09 with one 2000 x 1400 JPEG carrying 4 opaque text blocks. The 403 challenge above was recorded on that date. On 2026-11-08, a separate measurement with a different 4000 x 3000 JPEG carrying a centred white watermark found watermarkremover.io reachable: it returned a complete 4000 x 3000, 1,348,316 byte JPEG with no login and no card, recorded in our 12 MP free watermark remover comparison. On 2026-11-09 the same tool returned HTTP 403 with a Cloudflare security interstitial, 0 upload controls and no downloadable file, so this page lists no output numbers for it. The two dates do not describe the same run and neither record has been changed: one day the file came back, the next day it did not. That change is the finding.
What each column means for you
- Tool. The free service whose real downloaded file is measured in that row.
- Text blocks erased (of 4). Whether the lettering you wanted gone is actually gone, checked crop by crop against the input.
- Output size. How many pixels survive the free download, which decides whether the file still holds up for print or a tight crop.
- Download bytes. The weight you will upload, store or email.
- Format. Whether the download is a lossy JPEG or a lossless PNG, which matters if you plan to edit it again.
How the downloads were checked
The same single input image was pushed through each tool; the real downloaded files were measured, resampled to 2000 x 1400, and compared crop by crop against the input. A block counts as erased when its dominant ink coverage falls by more than 60%.
