Hey everyone and welcome to EdTech Hustle
0:02
My name is Rich and today we're going to learn how you can remove a watermark from any image using Canva
0:09
Now before I start, I do want to make the disclaimer that this is only for demonstration purposes
0:15
So let's go ahead and get started. So the other day, I generated this PICStar style image from the website lensgo.a
0:24
And it made me wonder, gee, this watermark at the bottom, would it be possible to use one of Canva's AI tools
0:30
to remove it. And guess what? It was. So what I did is I went to edit photo. I select magic eraser
0:36
and I just erased over that lens go.aI logo and let Canva do its thing. Watermark at the bottom
0:45
of the image is now gone. If I kind of zoom out, you can't really tell it's there. I guess it does
0:51
look a little blurry, but if you didn't know any better, you might not even know that that watermark
0:56
existed. So here's what I did. I did just a quick Google search for photographs with watermarks
1:02
and I'm going to see if magic erase is able to get rid of some of those watermarks. Okay
1:09
here is the first one It looks like it a photo taken from an airplane You can see skies in the ocean and that sort of thing So I just going to go and click on that photo I going to go to edit photo I going to choose Magic Eraser
1:22
And I am just going to brush over the text of each word on this photo that says proof in a watermark
1:40
Okay. So here is this one. It looks okay. Now, if you look close, you can kind of see where the watermark was, those diagonal watermark
1:49
lines just because of this photo. So it looks a little bit blurry here, but overall, I think it looks okay
1:56
Not great, but in some cases, maybe good enough. How about this one
2:00
I thought this one was kind of funny. Someone put copyright and put big and ugly watermark
2:06
So let me use magic erase and see if we can remove this
2:11
big and ugly watermark. Okay, here is this version
2:21
Not bad, it's kind of similar to some of the other ones that we've seen
2:25
We've removed that watermark in the middle. It kind of made things a little bit more blurry but again it could be that this photo is good enough for the purpose that you need it for Let take a look at this one You can see there a copyright straight through it
2:39
I'm going to use Magic Eraser. I am going to just kind of highlight or brush over that copyright
2:49
And it is gone. If you take a look at the space where that watermark was, you can see I think it looks pretty good
2:56
So in this case, I think Magic Arace did a great job. Here's another one
3:01
We have this nice picture of a chicken, I guess. I'm going to use Magic Eraser
3:07
Let me go ahead and just brush over this watermark. Let's see how the final version looks
3:13
All right, I think this one looks pretty good. Again, if you look close, maybe you can see some blurring, some distortion
3:18
But I think overall, in this situation, Magic Eraser did a great job removing that watermark
3:24
Okay, now here is a tough one. You see a lot of photos like this online
3:28
And again, this is for demonstration purposes. I would never actually do this, but I just want to see if magic erase is able to remove not only these watermarks
3:37
like the one that says shutter stock and good moments and has these little icons here
3:42
But if you look closely you can also see some diagonal lines very lightly running across this photo So I going to see if I can use magic erase to clean this whole photo up remove the lines remove the watermark
3:56
Let's see what happens. Okay, so take a look at this
4:16
I think a magic eraser worked really well, removing all of those watermarks
4:21
all of the diagonal lines that had been on this photo. So again, if you have a photo and you have permission to remove the watermark
4:32
then I would definitely recommend trying to see if Canva's magic erase would be a good option
4:36
It's great if you already have Canva because it's a feature that's already embedded
4:41
and one that I think can help you out quite a bit. So hopefully this video has been helpful
