How to Remove CapCut Watermark (5 Easy sWays) 2026

The CapCut watermark is the small logo or end clip that shows up on videos made with the free app. It can make your content look less professional, especially when you post for a brand or a client. The good news is that you can remove the CapCut watermark in a few taps once you know where to look.

In this guide, you will learn five simple ways to get clean exports on Android, iPhone and PC. We also cover the template watermark, the Pro feature lock and the logo on videos you did not make yourself. Each method comes with clear steps, so even a total beginner can follow along.

What Is the CapCut Watermark?

CapCut adds its branding to videos in a few different ways, and each one needs a different fix. Many users think there is only one watermark, but that is not true. The table below shows the main types you may see.

Once you know which type you have, the fix becomes much easier. Most users only deal with the end clip, which takes about ten seconds to remove. The other types need a little more work, but they are still simple.

Why Remove the CapCut Watermark?

A watermark tells viewers which app you used, and that is not always a good look. On platforms like YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, a clean video feels more professional and original. Brands and clients also expect content without third-party logos.

Creators remove it for a few clear reasons. Each one ties back to how your audience sees your work. Here are the main reasons creators remove it:

• Professional Look: Clean videos build trust with your audience.
• Brand Content: Clients do not want another company’s logo on their ads.
• Better Reach: Some platforms may show less of your content when it carries logos from other apps.
• Your Own Branding: You can add your own logo or name instead.

Method 1: Delete the CapCut End Clip

This is the fastest way to remove the CapCut watermark from a single project. The end clip sits at the very end of your timeline as a separate piece. You can delete it just like any other clip.

Steps on Android and iPhone

1. Open your project in CapCut.
2. Scroll to the end of the timeline until you see the CapCut logo clip.
3. Tap the clip to select it.
4. Tap Delete in the bottom menu.
5. Export your video as normal.

This method works on both Android and iPhone because the layout is the same. The only downside is that you must repeat it for every new project. If you want a permanent fix, use Method 2 below.

Method 2: Turn Off the Default Ending in Settings

CapCut has a setting that adds the end clip to every new project by default. When you switch it off, the app stops adding the outro to future projects. This is the best long-term fix for most free users.

Steps to Turn Off the Default Ending

1. Open CapCut and go to the home screen.
2. Tap the Settings icon (the gear in the top corner).
3. Find the option called Add default ending.
4. Tap the switch to turn it off.
5. When the app asks you to confirm, tap Cancel ending or Confirm.

From now on, your new projects will not have the end clip. Old projects that already have it will still keep it, so delete those clips by hand. You only need to change this setting once on each device.

Method 3: Remove the Watermark From CapCut Templates

Templates are one of the most popular features in CapCut, but they often add a logo when you export. The app sometimes gives you two export choices after you finish a template. One of them saves the video without the watermark.

Steps for a Template Export

1. Open the template and add your clips.
2. Tap Export in the top right corner.
3. Look for the option that says Export without watermark or Save and share to TikTok.
4. Pick the no-watermark option and wait for the export to finish.
5. The clean video will save to your gallery.

This option can change from one app version to another, so the wording may be a little different on your phone. If you do not see it, tap Edit more or Edit in CapCut to open the template as a normal project. From there, you can delete the end clip with Method 1.

Method 4: Handle the Pro Feature Lock

If you use a Pro effect, filter or template in the free app, CapCut may stop you from exporting. You will see a message that says your project contains Pro features. This is not a watermark, but it blocks a clean export in the same way.

The fix depends on your budget and how often you need Pro tools. Each option below leads to a clean export. You have three options when this happens:

• Remove the Pro Items: Tap each item with a Pro badge and replace it with a free one.
• Start a Free Trial: CapCut sometimes offers a short trial of the Pro plan.
• Upgrade to Pro: A paid plan unlocks all Pro items and removes every watermark.

Some users also choose the CapCut Pro APK, which unlocks the Pro tools on Android. You can read more about it on our CapCut Pro APK page, where we explain the features and the risks. Always weigh the pros and cons before you pick an option.

Method 5: Remove a Logo That Is Already on the Video

Sometimes the logo is part of the video itself, such as a clip you downloaded from social media. CapCut cannot erase it like a separate clip because it is baked into every frame. You can still hide it with a few simple tricks.

Option A: Crop the Video

1. Select the clip on your timeline.
2. Tap Edit and then Crop.
3. Drag the frame edges until the logo is out of view.
4. Tap the check mark to save.

Option B: Blur the Logo

1. Tap Effects and pick a Blur effect.
2. Place it over the clip for its full length.
3. Use a mask or overlay to limit the blur to the logo area.

Option C: Cover the Logo

1. Tap Overlay or Stickers.
2. Add your own logo, text or a shape on top of the old logo.
3. Resize and move it until the old logo is hidden.

Cropping works best when the logo sits near the edge of the frame. Blur is better when the logo is in the middle of the screen. Always make sure you have the right to reuse any video that belongs to someone else.

How to Remove CapCut Watermark on PC

CapCut for Windows and Mac works a little differently from the mobile app. The desktop version usually does not add an end clip to your videos. However, it will still block export if you use Pro items without a Pro plan.

Steps on CapCut Desktop

1. Open your project in CapCut on your computer.
2. Look for any items with a Pro label on the timeline or in the effects panel.
3. Replace them with free items, or upgrade to Pro.
4. Click Export and choose your resolution.

If you use the Android version through an emulator, follow Method 1 or Method 2 instead. The emulator runs the mobile app, so it keeps the same end clip settings. Our guide on CapCut for PC explains both options in detail.

Free vs Pro: Which Watermarks Can You Remove?

Not every watermark can be removed in the free app. The table below shows what you can do with each version. Use it to decide if you need an upgrade.

As you can see, free users can remove the most common watermark with no cost at all. The Pro lock is the only one that truly needs a paid plan or a modded app. For a full breakdown of plan prices, check our CapCut Pro price guide.

Tips to Keep Your CapCut Videos Clean

A few small habits can save you time on every project. These tips help you avoid watermarks before they even appear. They also make your final videos look more polished.

• Turn off the default ending once so you never have to delete it again.
• Check for Pro badges before you add effects, so the export does not get blocked.
• Preview the last few seconds of every video before you post it.
• Add your own logo as a small overlay to protect your content.
• Export at the right resolution for each platform, such as 1080p for Reels and TikTok.

Common Problems and Fixes

Even with the right steps, some users still see the watermark. This usually happens because of an old app version or a template setting. Here are the most common problems and how to fix them.

The End Clip Keeps Coming Back

This happens when the Add default ending setting is still on. Go back to Settings and make sure the switch is turned off. Then start a new project to test it.

I Cannot Find the Default Ending Setting

The setting may sit in a different spot on older versions of CapCut. Update the app to the latest version and check the Settings page again. If you still cannot find it, delete the end clip by hand with Method 1.

The Export Button Is Locked

A locked export button almost always means you used a Pro item. Look for the Pro badge on your effects, filters, text styles and transitions. Remove or replace those items, and the export button will work again.

The Template Still Has a Logo

Some templates add a logo that only disappears with the no-watermark export option. If that option is missing, open the template in the full editor with Edit more. From there, find and delete the logo clip or sticker.

Is It Legal to Remove the CapCut Watermark?

Removing the end clip from your own videos is completely fine because CapCut gives you a setting to do it. The same goes for a Pro plan, which is made to give you clean exports. You are simply using features the app already offers.

Things change when you remove a logo from someone else’s video. That logo often shows who owns the content, so you should get permission before you reuse it. Always respect copyright, and give credit to the original creator when you share their work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Thoughts

Removing the CapCut watermark is easier than most people think. For the end clip, a single setting change fixes the problem for good. For templates and Pro items, you just need a few extra steps or a Pro plan.

Start with Method 2 so every new project comes out clean by default. Then use the other methods only when you run into a template or a Pro lock. At Thecapcutmod.pro, we share simple CapCut guides like this one to help you create better videos with less effort.
