# Zest Video Watermark Removal

Zest Video Watermark Removal is a private local Mac app for repairing small logos, AI generator marks, Veo-style overlays, Gemini-style overlays, and creator watermarks in videos the user owns or is authorized to edit.

The app is built for creators who want to clean up video footage on their own Mac without sending files to a cloud service. Zest uses a local desktop interface and local processing tools. The current direct-sale launch price is $6.99 USD as a one-time purchase through Stripe.

## How Zest works

1. The user imports a video they own or are authorized to edit.
2. The user loads a frame where the watermark or overlay is visible.
3. The user draws a tight rectangle around the area to repair.
4. The user chooses a cleanup mode.
5. The user previews the repair.
6. The user renders the video locally.

## Supported cleanup approaches

Zest includes multiple local repair modes so users can try the least destructive method first:

- Temporal Median: useful when the background changes enough over time to estimate a cleaner region.
- Delogo: useful for small, fixed-position logos and simple overlays.
- Soft Mask: useful when the mark needs a blended repair edge.
- Blur: useful when a subtle obscuring repair is acceptable.
- Patch: useful for simple local patch repairs, though it can look like clone stamping on complex footage.
- OpenCV inpainting: uses traditional image inpainting methods for small logos and localized repairs.
- Alpha cleanup: intended for semi-transparent AI watermark overlays such as Veo-style or Gemini-style marks when a consistent watermark color or opacity can be estimated.
- Optional ProPainter AI backend: linked as an advanced setup path for users with compatible hardware and dependencies.

## Privacy and rights

Zest is designed for private local processing. Video files stay on the user's Mac. The app asks the user to confirm they own or are authorized to edit the selected video before rendering. Zest should not be described as a piracy tool or a tool for removing ownership marks from videos the user does not have rights to edit.

## Platform and downloads

Zest targets macOS and provides separate installer builds for:

- Apple Silicon Macs
- Intel Macs

The Apple Silicon build is the preferred target for heavier local cleanup workflows. Intel builds are intended for older Macs and may support a smaller set of modes depending on helper availability.

## Pricing and checkout

The launch price is $6.99 USD as a one-time purchase. Checkout is handled through Stripe Payment Links. After purchase, customers are redirected to a download page with installer links.
