How “Something” Works (optional)
Example:
CompressX always keeps the original uploaded image untouched.
To remove watermarks and rebuild your thumbnails, you need to complete the following steps manually:

List style (removable):
- 1. Remove images generated by CompressX
Delete image versions generated by CompressX (such as WebP and AVIF, if enabled). - 2. Regenerate image thumbnails
Use the Thumbnail Re-Gen tool to rebuild thumbnails using the current settings. - 3. Rebuild clean thumbnails without watermarks
New thumbnails will be generated without watermarks, including JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF versions.
This process ensures that watermark removal is safe, reversible, and non-destructive.
This behavior applies to both CompressX Free and Pro versions.
Original uploaded images are never modified.
Watermark removal only affects generated image versions.
Thumbnail regeneration is required to fully rebuild watermark-free images.
Bulk processing may take time on large image libraries.
Re-processing images may overwrite previous optimizations.

Bulk removal is recommended when you want to remove watermarks from many images at once.
Step 1: example (H4 font)
- 1. Go to CompressX → Settings.
- 2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
- 3. Find Delete Images Generated by CompressX.
- 4. Delete generated WebP and AVIF images.
This removes all watermark-applied image versions created by CompressX.
Step 2: example (H4 font)
- 1. Go to CompressX → Toolkit.
- 2. Open Thumbnail Re-Gen.
- 3. Select Regenerate all thumbnails for all sizes.
- 4. Click Start Bulk Processing.
CompressX will regenerate all thumbnails, including JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF versions, without watermarks.
After this process completes, you will have clean, watermark-free thumbnails.

Manual removal is useful when you only need to remove a watermark from one specific image.
Steps:
- 1. Go to the Media Library.
- 2. Select the image you want to remove the watermark from.
- 3. In the CompressX column, perform the option: Remove Watermark.
- 4. Perform Convert to regenerate the thumbnails for the image
This will remove watermark-applied thumbnails for that image.
To rebuild clean thumbnails for this image, regenerate thumbnails so new versions are created without watermarks.
