Many OPPO phones these days have a “Shot on” watermark on all the photos you capture using their camera. For those who don’t know, this isn’t necessarily a new feature we just started seeing on phones.
It’s not necessarily a deal-breaker for me but I see how it can be not very pleasant for many who want their images to come out unscathed. Luckily, you can turn off these OPPO phone watermarks, and here’s a simple guide to teach you how to do it. You can also remove watermarks from your videos.
How to Remove OPPO Watermark in the Camera App
The steps involved in disabling the OPPO’s watermark are almost identical in the case of all OPPO phones that add it in the first place. You’ll find the watermark option on the settings page within the camera app. The camera settings option is usually seen as a cog icon on the viewfinder screen. It usually hides behind a three-dot or the Hamburger menu icon.
I happen to have OPPO Reno 7 with me while writing this article, we show you where to find this watermark option within the OPPO camera app:
1. Open your OPPo camera app and tap on the three-dot icon on the top right corner of the screen to find the camera settings icons.
2. Tap on it to open the camera settings page.
3. You’ll see the Watermark is the first option on the settings page,
4. You can toggle it on or off with just a tap of a button.
How to Remove OPPO Watermark From Photos
If you forgot to remove the watermark before capturing an image but you don’t want to share it with an “OPPO” label, then you can do a couple of things to get rid of it after the fact. Here’s how:
Remove by Cropping
While not ideal, cropping is perhaps one of the easiest ways to get rid of OPPO watermarks from your photos. The watermarks are often added towards the bottom left corner of a photo, which you can easily chop off before sharing. Cropping an image takes little to no effort, and it can be done even with the photo editor inside the default gallery app.
Meanwhile, if you want to retain the aspect ratio of the photo or if you don’t want to crop the photo to avoid cutting off an important part of it, then this may not work for you. That’s when you can take advantage of an advanced photo editor to remove only the watermark from a photo.
Use Watermark Remover App, Software
There is a lot of photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop and GIMP that have a content-aware healing tool to mask a particular spot on photos. You can use those to easily remove the OPPO watermark from an image.
If you don’t want to download photo editing software or app, you can just search for the Watermark remover app online.
Conclusion
The OPPO phone watermark is an easy way to promote their phone’s camera system for brands, and a lot of users don’t know or don’t bother removing it by heading over the camera settings. That’s why you may have seen hundreds, if not thousands of such photos online with the company’s name.
To make it less annoying if you don’t want this feature would be to turn off the watermark by default. That sounds like a distant dream, so we hope you found this guide useful. In case you think we missed some other way to remove watermarks, then be sure to let us know by commenting below.
