Decart Watermark: Where It Comes From and How to Get Clean AI Face Swap Videos

A watermark on a Decart-made clip usually comes from the app you used, not the model. Here's why stripping it is a bad idea, and how to get clean output the right way.

Where the watermark actually comes from

Decart sells its models (Lucy 2.5, Lucy Restyle and others) to developers through an API that is billed per second. Its public documentation doesn't describe a watermark on API output. So if your video has a logo or text burned into it, it almost always comes from the app or website you used: a free tier, a demo page, or a reseller built on top of Decart. Free tiers watermark their output because every free second costs them real money.

Why you shouldn't just strip it

Searching "remove Decart watermark" turns up blur tools, crop tricks and AI inpainting. Three reasons to skip them:

It breaks the terms you agreed to. Free tiers trade a watermark for free usage. Removing it is usually a terms-of-service violation and can get your account closed.
It can be a legal problem. In many countries, removing a watermark or other ownership mark from content you don't own is restricted by copyright law.
It looks worse. Inpainting leaves a smudge exactly where viewers look, and cropping throws away resolution.

Legitimate ways to get clean output

Pay the app you used. Most watermark only the free tier.
Use the API directly if you're a developer: you pay per second and build your own app around it.
Use a tool whose paid output is clean and cheaper. On FaceLive pricing, every paid plan streams and exports without a watermark, at about $0.56–0.60 a live minute. Free tries carry a small FaceLive mark, for the same reason everyone else's do.

Getting the cleanest result

A clean video is more than "no watermark". Bitrate, light and the reference photo decide whether a swap looks real:

Light your face from the front (the lighting tips).
Use a sharp, front-facing reference photo (the reference photo guide).
Record at 720p or higher, and avoid apps that re-compress heavily (why face swaps look cartoonish).

Try it

Run the free trial in the FaceLive studio, or upload a clip to Swap Your Video. Upgrade only if the result is worth it to you. Paid output has no watermark.

FAQ

Does Decart add a watermark to API videos? Decart's public docs don't mention one. Watermarks usually come from the app built on top of it.

Is it legal to remove an AI watermark? It depends on the country and the content, but removing a mark from content you don't own is often a copyright or terms violation. Paying for clean output avoids the question.

Does FaceLive watermark paid videos? No. Only free tries carry a small FaceLive mark.

Can I use the video commercially? Use your own face or one you have permission to use, and read the consent rules.
