How Watermark Removal Works

CompressX always keeps the original uploaded image untouched.
To remove watermarks and rebuild your thumbnails, you need to complete the following steps manually:

• 1. Remove images generated by CompressX
  Delete image versions generated by CompressX (such as WebP and AVIF, if enabled).
• 2. Regenerate image thumbnails
  Use the Thumbnail Re-Gen tool to rebuild thumbnails using the current settings.
• 3. Rebuild clean thumbnails without watermarks
  New thumbnails will be generated without watermarks, including JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF versions.

This process ensures that watermark removal is safe, reversible, and non-destructive.

Bulk Watermark Removal

Bulk removal is recommended when you want to remove watermarks from many images at once.

Step 1: Delete Images Generated by CompressX

• 1. Go to CompressX → Settings.
• 2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
• 3. Find Delete Images Generated by CompressX.
• 4. Delete generated WebP and AVIF images.

This removes all watermark-applied image versions created by CompressX.

Step 2: Regenerate Thumbnails

• 1. Go to CompressX → Toolkit.
• 2. Open Thumbnail Re-Gen.
• 3. Select Regenerate all thumbnails for all sizes.
• 4. Click Start Bulk Processing.

CompressX will regenerate all thumbnails, including JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF versions, without watermarks.
After this process completes, you will have clean, watermark-free thumbnails.

Manual Watermark Removal (Single Image)

Manual removal is useful when you only need to remove a watermark from one specific image.
Steps:

• 1. Go to the Media Library.
• 2. Select the image you want to remove the watermark from.
• 3. In the CompressX column, perform the option: Remove Watermark.
• 4. Perform Convert to regenerate the thumbnails for the image

This will remove watermark-applied thumbnails for that image.
To rebuild clean thumbnails for this image, regenerate thumbnails so new versions are created without watermarks.
