How to Remove the CapCut Watermark in 2026
CapCut watermarks come from two places: the default ending clip, and premium templates, effects or assets used on the free tier. The ending clip can usually be removed for free. Watermarks from premium assets need a paid tier — Standard at $9.99 a month is the cheapest that removes them.
Here is how to tell which watermark you have, and the cheapest way to get rid of it.
Which CapCut watermark do you have?
| Watermark source | Free fix? | How |
|---|---|---|
| Ending clip with CapCut logo | Usually yes | Delete the ending clip from the timeline, or turn off the default ending in settings |
| Premium template | No | Choose a free template, or upgrade |
| Premium effect, filter or asset | No | Replace it with a free alternative, or upgrade |
App layouts change between versions, so menu names may differ slightly on your device.
The free ways to avoid it
Remove the ending clip. CapCut can add a short branded clip at the end of exports. Select it on the timeline and delete it before exporting, or disable the default ending in the app's settings so it is never added.
Avoid premium-marked assets. Templates, effects and stickers marked as Pro add a watermark on the free tier. Swapping them for free equivalents keeps the export clean.
Cropping or blurring a watermark out is not a real fix — it degrades the video and still leaves traces. If you need the premium assets, a paid tier is the clean answer.
Which paid tier removes watermarks
Standard — $9.99
Removes watermarks from premium assets. For creators who only want clean exports, this is enough.
Pro — $19.99
Also removes watermarks, and adds 4K export, the full AI toolkit and about 1TB of storage. Only worth it if you need those.
Free
No watermark if you delete the ending clip and stick to free templates and effects.
