About watermarks-remover

watermarks-remover is an open-source Python service and agent skill designed to strip AI provenance marks, metadata, and Unicode watermarks from files you own. It targets three layers: invisible Unicode characters and exotic whitespace, statistical token-sampling text watermarks from vendors like Claude, Gemini SynthID-Text, and OpenAI, and C2PA or EXIF metadata embedded in formats such as PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, DOCX, and HTML. The tool operates as a lightweight local HTTP service using Python 3.10+ standard library with no external dependencies, making it easy to deploy and integrate. It exposes an OpenAPI-documented REST interface for seamless integration with agents or web applications. Docker images and pre-built agent skill integrations for platforms like Grok and Cursor are also provided, simplifying setup and deployment. The service is intended for users who need to remove AI-generated provenance traces or metadata from their files while maintaining ownership and control over the content.
