Remove Watermark for free in Pixlr
This is third best software so Rank is 3

Pixlr watermark Remover Results
Steps to Remove Watermark using Pixlr
This is complicated so please bear with me, Ideal tool to remove watermark inside pixlr is clone stamp tool
- Launch the app and load your image
- Now from the left section of the Pixlr editor, click on “Clone Stamp tool” icon [if you don’t see Clone Stamp Tool like it happened to me, you may have to click “retouch” section depending on version you are using. In Retouch Section, hover over the icons to see the name of the icons and then click Clone Stamp tool]
- When you first click Clone Stamp tool by default under Mode, Source will be enabled. Now the complicated part starts, In Mode you can click “Source” or “Paint”. If you select “Paint” then when you brush on image only those brushed areas will be removed. “Source” means when source is enabled then when you click on image then this clicked region will be used to fill the deleted (“paint”) regions.
4 . To Save the image, Click “File” ->“Save”
Pros
- Its free
Cons
- Its Complicated and very time consuming
- It has a steep learning curve, even after learning it takes too much time and effort to get a below normal output because it nearly impossible to select source for each and every region.
- This is not suited to watermark removal task.
So I would not recommend Pixlr.

Conclusion
Seeing the results of different software’s in removing watermarks and considering the price of each software, I would suggest first one which is Object Remover AI.
