How to remove the Loom watermark (3 real methods, ranked)

Three honest ways to get a Loom video with no watermark: switch recorders, crop the corner, or pay for Business. What each one actually breaks, and whic...

The fastest way to get a Loom recording without a watermark is to stop using Loom’s free tier for that recording and switch to a recorder that doesn’t add a watermark in the first place. If you want the actual workaround inside Loom (cropping out the watermark corner), that’s covered below as Method 2, with the trade-offs called out honestly. If you’re willing to pay, Loom Business removes the watermark on its own. Loom plan details reflect Loom’s public pricing pages as of July 2026.

Method 1 — Record on Pullsy (no watermark, no editing needed)

Pullsy doesn’t add a watermark to free recordings. There is nothing to remove because there is nothing baked in. The free tier records to local storage on your device first; you choose whether to upload it to Pullsy’s hosted share or download the file. Either way, the output is your video, your UI, no third-party logo in the corner.

Steps:

  1. Open pullsy.online/record
  2. Pick screen, screen + cam, or just cam
  3. Hit the big red dot
  4. When you’re done, click “Stop.” The recording is on your device
  5. Either download the file locally, or click “Upload to share” to get a shareable link (free hosting for 30 days)

The recording plays back anywhere — embedded on your site, sent to Slack, posted on LinkedIn, attached to an email — without a Loom badge anywhere.

What Pullsy also gives you in the same workflow (free):

  • An automatic transcript
  • An auto summary and auto chapters
  • A “ask this video” search bar that answers viewer questions from the transcript
  • View analytics on the hosted link (who watched, when, how far through)
  • No required account to watch
  • A link-expiry-toggle for sensitive content

Free tier caps recording length at 5 minutes per take. Pro is unlimited. The watermark never applies at any tier.

This is the method we use. If you’re already paying for Loom Business to remove a watermark, Pullsy’s free tier is genuinely a cost-cutting option. See the full comparison at pullsy.online/loom-watermark.

Method 2 — Crop the watermark corner (free, but you lose video area)

If you want to keep an existing Loom recording and just strip the logo from the export, the practical method is:

  1. Download the Loom MP4 from your Loom library (or use our Loom to MP4 tool if you’re working from a share link).
  2. Open the file in a free editor — HandBrake, DaVinci Resolve, or even the Photos app on macOS for the simplest crop.
  3. Crop a small slice off the bottom-right corner where the Loom badge sits (about 8% of the frame width works for the standard Loom watermark).
  4. Export the trimmed file and use that.

What this breaks:

  • Aspect ratio. Cropping changes the aspect from 16:9 to something squarer. If you embed it back into a 16:9 layout, you’ll have black bars or the video will appear smaller.
  • Sharpness in the crop area. Anything visible in the cropped portion (cursor, button, line of text) will be gone.
  • Quality. If you then re-encode at the same bitrate to keep file size manageable, the rest of the frame loses a little sharpness.

If you don’t mind the aspect ratio change and the cropped content wasn’t important, this method is genuinely free and takes about 5 minutes.

Method 3 — Subscribe to Loom Business

Loom Business, around $18 per user per month, removes the watermark on every recording for that user. If you’re already paying for Loom Business, your videos are clean — the trade-off is just cost.

What this does not give you:

  • Free view analytics are still paywalled at a higher tier (Business + AI is roughly $20–24 per user per month).
  • The 25-video lifetime cap still applies on Business Starter (Business removes it; some legacy plans still cap).
  • Team-rollout still costs per seat. Five editors on your marketing team = five subscriptions.

If you’re paying anyway and the work is high-stakes — agency client deliverables, paid course material, training videos that ship in the product — paying Loom Business for the watermark-free output is fine. The honest moment, though, is when you realise you’re paying ~$18/mo per user just to remove a logo. At that price-point you could move to a paid tool that charges per workspace, not per person.

Which method should you pick?

When the watermark bothers you on existing Looms too

If you’ve got a library of older Loom videos and you’re deciding whether to redo them or just deal with the badge, our pillar post on the Loom free-plan limits in 2026 walks through every limit (including the watermark) and how each one plays out. The short version is: switch recorders for new work, and use Loom to MP4 only if you specifically need a local copy of an old one — most old Looms are fine to leave alone.

What the watermark actually looks like

If you’re considering Method 2 and not sure how much you’ll lose, here’s the practical scope:

  • The standard Loom watermark sits in the bottom-right corner.
  • On a 1920×1080 recording, it occupies roughly the bottom-right 180×80 pixels — a small badge with the word “Loom.”
  • That patch rarely contains meaningful content. The corner area is usually empty browser chrome, unused screen space, or the user icon strip.
  • So cropping that corner is less destructive than it sounds — but it does change the aspect ratio.

If your recording has anything important in that strip (a button you click at the very end, your facecam cam in a small corner), crop is not safe.
