Facebook and watermarks
Facebook does not add one. We do not either.
By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.
Facebook does not burn in a mark
Facebook stores the video as uploaded, without stamping a username or a logo into the frames. A video filmed and posted on Facebook comes down with nothing added.
The things you see over a video while scrolling are drawn by the app around the player, and none of them are in the file:
- The page name and profile picture
- The reaction and share counts
- The Follow button and the progress bar
Reposted reels carry someone else’s mark
A large share of Facebook reels began life on TikTok. TikTok burns its watermark into the picture before it stores anything, so when that file is downloaded and re-uploaded to Facebook the mark comes along as part of the image.
That mark cannot be switched off from here or anywhere else. It is pixels, and the only way to lose it is to crop the frame it sits in.
Frequently asked questions
Do you add your own watermark?
No. The file is Facebook’s, unaltered.
Can you remove the TikTok one?
Not honestly. Removing burned-in pixels means cropping the frame or inventing what was behind them, and neither is removal.
