The OpenModels badge is a small wordmark burned into the corner of every picture and video the platform makes for you. On the Free and Starter plans it is always there. From Creator up it is a switch on your profile. This page is what that switch does, what it does not do, and the one thing people reliably expect from it that it will never do.
Which plan: The watermark switch is a Creator entitlement. Below Creator the section is still visible on your profile, with a Creator and up lock on it, and results carry the mark regardless of what the stored preference says. Starter buys access to the paid models; clean output is the next rung up.
Go to the watermark setting — The switch is on your profile page. Changing it affects results you make from then on.
The mark is the OpenModels lockup placed in a corner of the frame, in one of two variants. Which variant is used is decided by measuring the corner it is about to cover rather than the picture as a whole — a light mark on dark footage, a dark mark on a bright one — because a mark chosen off the average of a night shot under a blown-out sky disappears into the corner and looks identical to a working one in any check that only asks whether the pixels changed.
It is applied to output, and the list is deliberately wider than most people assume:
And the list of what is never marked is shorter, but it is the more important one:
The setting and the entitlement are two separate things, and the entitlement is re-read every single time a result is saved rather than cached onto the job. Three consequences follow, and all three surprise somebody eventually.
| Plan | Mark on new results | Switch available |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Always | No |
| Starter | Always | No |
| Creator | Your choice | Yes |
| Pro | Your choice | Yes |
| Ultra | Your choice | Yes |
There is no un-marking, and it is worth being blunt about why. The badge is composited into the pixels before the file is stored, so the marked file is the only file — there is no clean master kept behind it waiting to be released by an upgrade.
The route to a clean version is to run the job again on a plan that can switch the mark off. Where the composer can restore a run's inputs, that is a re-run rather than a rebuild: the same prompt, the same model, the same reference images. It still costs what the run costs, from whichever wallet the model bills.
Watch out: Plan the switch before a batch, not after it. Twenty marked images and a fresh Creator plan means twenty re-runs, paid for a second time.
Two different things share the word, and conflating them wastes a plan. Everything above is about the badge we add to your own output, and switching it off costs no credits at all.
Separately there is a video clean-up tool, LTX 2.3 Watermark Remove, which re-renders a clip you supply to take an overlay out of the picture. It sits in the video editor beside Subtitle Remove, it is Ultra only — not visible at all below that — and it is metered per second of the source clip rather than per generation.
Watch out: The clean-up tool renders at the source clip's own short side, capped at 544 px, and nothing is ever upscaled. A 1080p clip does not come back at 1080p. Judge it on whether the overlay is gone, not on resolution.
Creator, Pro and Ultra. Free and Starter output always carries it, whatever the stored preference says, and the switch on those plans is shown locked rather than hidden.
No. The mark is burned in when a result is saved, so the setting only decides what happens to results you make from then on. Existing files in your library are never rewritten.
New results start carrying the mark again straight away, because the plan is re-read on every save. Your setting is kept, not deleted, and takes effect again the moment you resubscribe.
No. Only what the platform produced is stamped. Job inputs and the stored copy of your own file are left alone, because altering a file you handed us is the one mistake here that cannot be reversed.
That is a different tool. LTX 2.3 Watermark Remove re-renders a clip you supply, it is Ultra only, and its output short side is capped at 544 px with nothing upscaled — so a high-resolution clip does not come back at its original resolution.
No. It is a setting on your account, not a job. What it costs is the plan that makes the switch available; the switch itself is free to flip as often as you like.
