Logo Remover

A simple tool to remove logos/watermarks from images and prepare them for digital displays. Built for recurring monthly use with AI-generated images (Gemini, etc.).

Project Files

• get_coordinates.py - Interactive tool to click and identify logo coordinates
• remove_logo.py - Main script to remove logos with resizing and conversion options
• requirements.txt - Python dependencies
• SPEC.md - Technical specification and architecture details
• .kiro-context.md - AI assistant context for future modifications

Setup

1. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

cd ~/projects/logo-remover
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Step 1: Get Logo Coordinates

Run the coordinate picker to identify the logo location:

python get_coordinates.py your_image.png

Click the top-left corner of the logo, then the bottom-right corner. The coordinates will be printed in the terminal.

Step 2: Remove Logo

Use the coordinates to remove the logo:

python remove_logo.py your_image.png --x 1379 --y 2601 --width 96 --height 94

Additional Options

Resize for digital display:

python remove_logo.py your_image.png --x 1379 --y 2601 --width 96 --height 94 --resize 1080x1920

Convert to JPG at maximum quality:

python remove_logo.py your_image.png --x 1379 --y 2601 --width 96 --height 94 --resize 1080x1920 --jpg

Adjust padding around logo (default is 20 pixels):

python remove_logo.py your_image.png --x 1379 --y 2601 --width 96 --height 94 --padding 30

Specify custom output filename:

python remove_logo.py your_image.png --x 1379 --y 2601 --width 96 --height 94 --output final.jpg --jpg

Complete Example

# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Get coordinates
python get_coordinates.py island_overload.png

# Remove logo, resize to 1080x1920, and save as JPG
python remove_logo.py island_overload.png --x 1379 --y 2601 --width 96 --height 94 --resize 1080x1920 --jpg

Notes

• The tool uses content-aware inpainting to blend the removed area with surrounding pixels
• Padding adds extra pixels around the logo region for cleaner removal
• JPG conversion uses 100% quality setting
• Default padding is 20 pixels (increase to 30+ for stubborn logos)
• Target resolution 1080x1920 is for portrait-oriented digital displays
• JPG reduces file size by ~55% compared to PNG while maintaining quality

Project Documentation

• SPEC.md - Full technical specification, algorithms, and design decisions
• .kiro-context.md - Context for AI assistants when making future changes
• See these files for implementation details and enhancement ideas

Troubleshooting

Logo still visible after removal?

• Increase padding: --padding 30 or higher

Inpainting creates artifacts?

• Increase padding to include more surrounding context
• Ensure coordinates accurately cover the entire logo

Need to process multiple images?

• Create a bash script to loop through files (see SPEC.md for future enhancements)

Project History

Created: 2026-02-24

• Initial use case: Remove Gemini logo from AI-generated images
• Successfully tested with island_overload.png (logo at x=1379, y=2601, 96x94 pixels)
• File size reduction: 3.3MB PNG → 1.5MB JPG at max quality
