Show HN: Remove Sora watermarks in 5 seconds – without quality loss

https://www.removesorawatermark.online
1•watree•3h ago
Hey everyone! I built a tool that removes Sora watermarks in about 5 seconds, and I'd love to share the story behind it. How it started: I've been watching people make money with Sora2 in wild ways - selling invite codes for thousands a week, generating instant product ads with UI screenshots, automating social media workflows with n8n... it's crazy out there. Check out r/SoraInviteCodes if you don't believe me. But here's the catch everyone hits: even as a ChatGPT Plus subscriber, you're stuck with that watermark. And when you think "okay, maybe it's for copyright reasons," OpenAI hits you with the reality - $200/month for Pro membership to go watermark-free. The complaints across Reddit, X, and Discord are... intense. So I built: https://www.removesorawatermark.online What makes this different: Most tools out there use open-source AI models to "paint over" the watermark - it's slow (1+ minutes) and quality is hit-or-miss. Mine pulls the actual original video from Sora's servers - the same clean file Pro users get. It's basically lossless, and it's fast. Why does this matter? Sora2 videos are so realistic that once you remove the watermark, you can post them on social media without the AI label. With platforms competing against Sora, they're surprisingly open to this content right now. I've seen people getting real engagement. Real talk: I'm not saying "get rich quick." But I am saying: Sora2 just dropped, and early adopters are already moving. Whether you're a content creator, marketer, or just someone who wants to experiment - why stay on the sidelines? How it works: Paste your Sora share link Wait ~5 seconds Download the clean video Currently running it as a freemium model with daily limits for free users.It's enough for daily needs, but you can comment here if you need more limits. Why I'm posting here: I built this in a few weeks, and I'm curious what the HN community thinks. Is this solving a real pain point? Are there legal/ethical concerns I'm missing? Would love honest feedback. Also - if you're tech-savvy, you probably noticed the smart folks already registered sora3.com and sora4.com domains. Just saying Try it out and let me know what you think!
