What is Watermark in AI Video?
A visible mark added to AI-generated content, typically on free tiers. Paid plans usually remove watermarks for professional use.
How it works
Many AI tools add visible watermarks to content generated on free tiers to encourage upgrading to paid plans. Watermarks typically appear as a small logo or text overlay in a corner of the output. For professional use, watermark-free output is essential. Most tools remove watermarks on paid plans. Some tools (Kling, Hailuo, Luma) offer watermark-free output even on free tiers, making them accessible for testing and evaluation without quality compromise. Never attempt to remove watermarks from free-tier output for commercial use, as this violates the tool's terms of service.
