When removal is generally fine
- You own the media, or the rights holder allows alteration.
- A license explicitly permits removing marks.
- The producing tool’s terms allow you to use the export without that visible mark.
When it is not fine
- Stock previews you have not licensed — stripping the vendor mark is usually prohibited.
- Third-party copyrighted work without permission.
- Attribution or copyright notices your license requires you to keep.
