If you’ve ever edited a video in CapCut, you already know how powerful it is for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. But the moment you export… boom — that CapCut watermark appears at the end of your video.
The good news? You don’t need CapCut Pro or any paid tool to remove the watermark. In this guide, I’ll walk you through simple, 100% free methods that actually work. No tricks, no shady apps — just clean steps you can follow right now.
Why Does CapCut Add a Watermark?
CapCut automatically adds a short outro clip with its logo at the end of videos created using the free version. It’s not burned into the main video — and that’s exactly why removing it is easy.
Once you know where to look, it takes less than 10 seconds.

Method 1: Remove CapCut Watermark Before Export (Best & Safest)
This is the official and recommended method, and most users miss it.
Step-by-Step Process
Open your project in CapCut.
Go to the timeline at the bottom.
Scroll all the way to the end of the video.
You’ll see a short clip that says “CapCut”.
Tap on that clip.
Hit Delete.
Export your video normally.
✅ That’s it. Your video will export without any watermark, completely free.
Method 2: Crop the Watermark (If It Appears on the Video)
Sometimes, especially with templates, the watermark may appear in a corner instead of the end.

How to Crop It Out
Open your project in CapCut.
Select the main video layer.
Tap Edit → Crop.
Adjust the frame to remove the watermark area.
Apply and export.
⚠️ Tip: This works best for Instagram Reels or Shorts, where slight cropping doesn’t hurt quality.
Method 3: Use Canvas Resize to Hide the Watermark
This is a clever trick if cropping affects your composition.
Steps
Select your video in CapCut.
Go to Canvas.
Choose Blur, Color, or Background.
Slightly resize and reposition the video so the watermark area is hidden.
Export.
This method keeps your video clean while maintaining aspect ratio.

What NOT to Do (Avoid These Mistakes)
As a blogger, I’ve tested dozens of so-called “solutions.” Here’s what you should stay away from:
❌ Third-party watermark remover apps (quality loss + security risk)
❌ Screen recording your own video (low resolution)
CapCut already gives you a free, safe way, so there’s no need to risk your content.
Does CapCut Add Watermark on PC or Desktop?
No. On CapCut PC/Desktop, videos usually export without a watermark by default, unless you use branded templates. Still, always double-check the timeline before exporting.
Final Thoughts (From One Creator to Another)
If you’re creating content regularly, this small trick saves you time, quality, and frustration. CapCut is one of the best free video editors, and knowing how to remove the watermark properly makes it even better.
