About this tool

Why designers use Shutterstock preview images

Shutterstock places a semi-transparent watermark across all its preview (comp) images. These low-resolution comps are widely used by designers, art directors, and content creators to plan layouts, build mood boards, and present ideas to clients before purchasing the final asset.

When you need to show a client how a visual direction will look, or build a reference board for a shoot, watermarked comps get in the way of communicating the concept clearly. Removing the watermark from the comp image lets you present your ideas without visual clutter.

FoziScribe's AI handles the distinctive Shutterstock diagonal text watermark pattern and reconstructs the image beneath it accurately. Upload your comp image above and download a clean version in seconds.

Built for the way you work.

What this does, and what it saves you doing by hand.

The AI recognises the repeating Shutterstock watermark style and removes it cleanly across the full image.

Reconstructs hidden detail

Image inpainting rebuilds the texture and colour underneath the watermark for a seamless result.

Faster than any manual method

No Photoshop, no healing brush, no layer work. The AI cleans the image in seconds.

Photo, illustration, vector — if it has the Shutterstock watermark, the AI can remove it.

Questions, answered

Does this work on all Shutterstock preview images?
Yes — the AI handles the standard Shutterstock diagonal watermark pattern used across all their comp images, including photos, illustrations, and vectors.
Will the cleaned image look natural?
For most comp images, yes. The AI reconstructs the image beneath the watermark using surrounding pixel data, producing a clean result. Complex backgrounds may show minor imperfections.
Is using Shutterstock preview images without a watermark allowed?
Shutterstock comp images are intended for design reference and client presentations. For any commercial publication or final production use, you should purchase a proper licence from Shutterstock.
How many Shutterstock images can I clean for free?
Each removal costs 3 credits. You get free credits every month — no card required. Upgrade for more monthly credits.
What format should I upload the Shutterstock preview in?
JPG is the standard format for Shutterstock comps. JPG, PNG, and WEBP are all accepted by the tool.
