# OpenWipe — Full-Resolution Watermark & Object Removal

**Fully local. Full resolution. No cloud. No quality loss.**

A desktop application for removing watermarks, logos, text, and unwanted objects from images — powered by Florence-2 detection + LaMa inpainting, running entirely on your machine.

## Why another watermark remover?

Commercial tools like VisioMint upload your images to the cloud for processing. Open-source alternatives often sacrifice quality by downscaling before processing. OpenWipe does neither:

- **100% local** — your images never leave your machine
- **Full resolution** — output matches input dimensions exactly
- **Max quality output** — JPEG quality=100 with 4:4:4 chroma, or lossless PNG
- **Smart processing** — automatic VRAM-aware tiling for large images

## Quality improvements over WatermarkRemover-AI

This project fixes the core quality pipeline issues:

| Issue | WatermarkRemover-AI | OpenWipe |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | Downscaled via `max_dim` | Full resolution by default |
| JPEG quality | PIL default (75) | 100 + 4:4:4 chroma |
| Large images | Downscaled | Full-res + smart cropping |
| Output dimensions | Reduced | Original preserved |

## Features

- **Auto-detect watermarks/text/logos** using Florence-2
- **AI-powered inpainting** using LaMa (Large Mask Inpainting)
- **Brush-select** any region for manual object removal
- **Batch processing** for folders of images
- **Video support** with frame-by-frame watermark removal
- **Stroke mode** for precise edge-level masks vs box masks
- **Double-pass** inpainting for cleaner results
- **Transparent mode** — make watermark regions transparent instead of inpainting

## Installation

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

```bash
# Single image
python remwm.py input.jpg output.jpg

# Batch process a folder
python remwm.py ./photos/ ./clean/

# With custom detection prompt
python remwm.py input.jpg output.jpg --detection-prompt "watermark logo"

# Preview detections without processing
python remwm.py input.jpg --preview

# Manual stroke mask (more precise than box)
python remwm.py input.jpg output.jpg --mask-mode stroke
```

## Tech Stack

- **Florence-2** (Microsoft) — open-vocabulary object/text detection
- **LaMa** — Large Mask Inpainting (TorchScript)
- **PyTorch** — inference backend (CPU or CUDA)
- **PyWebview** — native desktop window
- **Alpine.js** — lightweight UI framework

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Restrict access to the local inference API.

The API accepts requests without authentication, and allow_origins=["*"] permits any browser origin to read its responses. Where a browser permits loopback access, an unrelated site can submit repeated inference requests and consume the desktop app’s CPU or GPU. Restrict CORS to the desktop origin and require a session secret for inference requests; CORS alone does not restrict non-browser clients. Browser loopback permissions can add a separate barrier, but do not make this API private. (fastapi.tiangolo.com)

Restrict the CORS middleware configuration to the desktop app’s origin instead
of allowing every origin, and require a valid session secret on inference
requests so non-browser clients are also blocked without authorization. Apply
the check at the inference API boundary; CORS alone is not authentication.

Publish Florence components only after both load.

If AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(path) fails after the model assignment, _florence_model remains set and _florence_processor remains None. Later calls skip initialization and cannot recover without restarting the backend. Load both into local variables, then assign both globals after success.

Bound image inputs before decoding and inference.

image_b64 has no length limit, and this helper has no decoded-image pixel limit. A large request can allocate multiple full-resolution copies during decoding and inference, exhausting the local backend. Set request-size and pixel-count limits for both image and mask inputs before expensive processing. Pillow’s decompression-bomb warning alone does not reject every large image.

Review comment at @backend/api.py around lines 105 - 107:
Update b64_to_image and the request handling for image_b64 and mask inputs to
enforce encoded request-size limits before decoding and decoded pixel-count
limits before conversion or inference. Ensure the pixel limit explicitly rejects
oversized images rather than relying on Pillow’s decompression-bomb warning.

Move blocking inference off the event loop.

/api/detect, /api/inpaint, and /api/remove load models, decode images, and run inference inside async def handlers. One slow request blocks the event loop, including /api/health and other image requests. Use synchronous route functions so FastAPI runs them in its thread pool, or explicitly offload the blocking work. As per the retrieved learning, CPU-bound and blocking work must not run directly in async route handlers. (fastapi.tiangolo.com)

Review comment at @backend/api.py at line 127:
Make the blocking inference work for /api/detect, /api/inpaint, and /api/remove
run outside the event loop: convert their async route handlers to synchronous
functions so FastAPI uses its thread pool, or explicitly offload the blocking
work. Keep each route’s existing behavior unchanged.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Pass the PIL image to detect_only.

np.array(image) has no width or height attribute. remwm.py:detect_only reads both attributes after detection, so a successful /api/detect inference ends in a 500 response. Pass image instead. (numpy.org)
