Do you want to reuse your TikTok videos on other social media platforms, but don’t like the TikTok watermark? The tutorial below will show you how to remove the watermark from TikTok videos.

Most of us don’t have enough time in a lifetime to create unique content for each of the different social media platforms.

One way you can save time is to reuse videos that you’ve made on TikTok on other platforms.

But when you download a TikTok video to your phone, you’ll find that it has a pretty obvious watermark. A watermark that switches from the upper left-hand side to the lower right-hand side about halfway through your video.

So how do you get rid of the watermark? Read on for tips on how to remove the watermark from TikTok videos.

But first, the legal stuff

Sorry to put a temporary halt to our fun, but I want to make sure you don’t accidentally get yourself into trouble.

In the U.S., copyright exists upon creation of a work (video, music, audio, etc.). While there are plenty of caveats to this, unless you are pretty well versed in U.S. copyright law, I’d steer away from other people’s work when sharing TikTok videos on other platforms.

If you’re posting TikTok videos to other social media sites, I’d stick to the TikToks that only use videos or photos that you shot. If you added someone else’s music or audio to the TikTok video, you can remove the audio when you load the video to the other platforms.

Okay, enough legal stuff. Here’s how to remove the watermark from TikTok videos!

Option 1: Crop out the watermark

The first option to remove the TikTok watermark is to crop it out of the screen. Because the watermark appears in two places, you’ll have to crop out the outer box of the video.

That means any video or text in that section will be cropped-out.

To use the crop-out function, you’ll probably need a third-party app. Search your phone’s app store for “video crop”.

You don’t need a lot of bells and whistles here, so a simple app that only crops video is fine. I use Smart Video Crop on my Android phone. For Apple phones, Video Crop has great reviews.

Option 2: Blur the watermark

If you don’t want to crop out a portion of your video, a second option is to blur the watermark. By blurring it, the watermark is essentially removed from the video.

You’ll likely need another third-party app for this action. To find this type of app, search your phone’s app store for “watermark remover”.

I use Remove & Add Watermark on my Android. For Apple phones, check out Photo Eraser.

Because the watermark switches locations during the video, you’ll have to remove the watermark in two places. The watermark will switch from the upper left-hand side to the lower right-hand side about halfway through the video.

Option 3: Cover the watermark with something else

A third option for removing the TikTok watermark is to simply cover it with something else, like text or a graphic.

For example, if you’re uploading the TikTok video to IG Reels, you can add text and graphics once the video is loaded to Instagram. Any new text or graphics that you add to the video in IG Reels will cover the watermark.

Just remember that you’ll need to cover the watermark in two places (upper left-hand side and lower right-hand side).
