The problem
A clean up photo job is a small repair with one mess in the frame. The picture can stay. What has to go is the thing on top of it: a shop stamp you placed, a scanner signature on a print you own, or a preview mark on a file you are allowed to change. This page is the category desk for that work. It is not a filter gallery, and it does not claim that every repair in the longer plan already runs.
The box on this screen removes a watermark, and the button says so. People often arrive with that file already chosen, so the first screen is the watermark entry instead of a menu of effects. The heading stays the category, clean up photo. If the real problem is type you cannot read, use unblur text in image rather than running this box again.
This release ships those two tools. Unblur image, remove text from image, glare on glasses, and photo cleaner are the same family and are not live yet. They are listed so the desk has a map. They do not run.
With a live image key, the edit is automatic. With no key, a mock provider echoes the upload and the result screen says the pixels were not changed. A new browser gets 5 free credits. A run spends one. If the job fails, the credit is written back to the same wallet. Packs are one-time payments of $4.99, $9.99, and $29.99. There is no subscription. Free credits do not need an account. Paying does.
Acceptable use spells out the same limit.
Three steps
1. Add the file
Add a JPEG, PNG, or WebP you are allowed to change. This control starts watermark removal only.
2. Confirm you may edit it
Tick the line that says you own the image or you are authorized to edit it. The run stays blocked until that box is checked.
3. Download your copy
Download the result and keep your own copy. The stored upload and result are deleted about 24 hours after the job is created. If the free credits run out, buy a one-time pack and sign in first so the credits have an account to land on.
Real situations
Shop draft
You photographed a product for your shop and exported a draft with your shop mark still on it. The printer needs that frame without the mark. Start in the box above. The ownership rule is repeated on the watermark page.
Whiteboard notes
You photographed a whiteboard and need the sentences. Watermark removal will not sharpen those letters. Open unblur text in image.
Family print
A scanning app left its name on a family print you own. Lifting that stamp is in scope. Filling cracks, colorizing an album, or sharpening a whole roll are later jobs, named below, and they are not in this release.
Questions
What does this clean up photo page run today?
It removes a watermark from an image you are allowed to edit, and it points you to text unblur when the words are the problem. It is not a general editor.
Why does a category page open on watermark removal?
The title and the heading match the category. The first task we ship is watermark removal, which is the file many people already have open. The heading stays the category. The button names the task.
What happens to the file and the credit if the run fails?
Download the result while it is up. The stored copy is deleted about 24 hours after the job is created. Each run reserves one credit. If the provider fails, that credit comes back and the job shows the refund. You need an account only when you buy a pack.
One-time credit packs are $4.99, $9.99, and $29.99. None of them are subscriptions.
