Redmi Note 9 smartphone owners often experience an intrusive automatic stamping of the model on the images taken. This feature is enabled by default in the camera settings and can spoil the composition of the frame or interfere with the printing of photos. Fortunately, MIUI software makes it easy to turn off this option, but not all users know where to look for the desired switch.
In this article, we will discuss how to remove the phone name from the photo on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 with regular means, and will discuss methods to remove the already affixed watermark from the finished images, if you forgot to turn off the feature in advance, you will learn how to manage the camera settings and use the built-in editing tools for the perfect result.
Sometimes users confuse the system stamp with other interface elements or watermarks of third-party applications. It is important to understand the difference, since the methods of removing them may differ. We will consider the regular logo that is generated by the Android system in conjunction with the MIUI shell at the time the image file is created.
Disabling the model stamp in the camera settings
The best and most effective way to get rid of the label is to prevent the camera from adding it in the future, so you don't have to download third-party software or have super-user rights, and all the tools are already built into the Camera app, and you have to go to the settings menu, which is hidden behind the gear at the top of the viewfinder interface.
Inside the settings menu, you'll find the section that handles the extra settings of your shooting. It can be called differently in different versions of the MIUI shell, but most often the switch you're looking for is in the Watermarks or Camera Settings block, and that's where you activate or deactivate the function of adding text information to your picture.
Once the feature is disabled, new photos will be created in a pure form, but remember that old pictures taken before the change in settings will remain unchanged. They will require a separate editing procedure, which we will talk about in the next sections.
β οΈ Note: After updating the Android operating system or shell MIUI The camera settings can be reset to factory settings, so the watermark can reappear, and you'll have to repeat the procedure.
β οΈ Warning: Make sure you turn off the model stamp, not the geolocation or date if you need them.
Using a built-in editor to delete text
If you already have a Redmi Note 9 logo in your photo, you can remove it right in the smartphone gallery. Xiaomi's built-in image editor has powerful tools, including the "Lastik" or "Rettush" feature, which allows you to replace text on the background pixels, making deletion almost invisible.
To get started, open the image you want and click on the Change button (usually a pencil or slider icon). In the bottom tool menu, select the category "AI" or "Tools" where the object removal function is located. Point your finger at the model inscription and swipe it over so that the algorithm recognizes the retouch area.
The AI algorithm will analyze the surrounding pixels and fill the text area with the right color or texture, and if the first time the result is not perfect, you can reduce the size of the brush and treat the edges of the inscription more carefully, especially if the text is on a complex, heterogeneous background.

For better quality, retouch the image at the original resolution, without sending the photo immediately to messengers, since compression worsens the quality and complicates the work of object removal algorithms.
Application of third-party applications for retouching
Staffing isn't always enough to remove text, especially if it crosses complex objects or gradients, and in those cases, Google Play applications like Snapseed, TouchRetouch, or Heal come to the rescue, and they use more advanced cloning and filling algorithms.
Google's Snapseed app offers a "Pinpoint" tool that works like a stamp. You just point your finger at a Xiaomi label, and it replaces it with a section of an image from a nearby area, which takes some skill, but gives you excellent results in detailed shots.
More automated solutions like TouchRetouch allow you to select objects with a lasso or brush and remove them at a click. These programs often have paid versions, but their functionality justifies the cost for those who often process photos. They are ideal for removing logos against a single-ton background.
- πΈ Snapseed is a free and powerful editor with point recovery.
- β¨ TouchRetouch β a specialized application for removing unnecessary objects.
- π¨ PicsArt β a multifunctional combine with cloning tools.
- π§Ή Heal is a simple tool for quick retouching of small defects.
Comparison of watermark removal methods
The choice of method depends on the number of photos to be processed and the quality of the source material. The standard tools are good for quickly editing one or two shots while specialized software takes time to master, but gives the best result. Below is a table that helps determine the choice of tool.
| Method | Difficulty | Quality of the result | Need for installation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camera settings | Low. | Perfect (prevention) | No (embedded) |
| MIUI Gallery | Low. | Average. | No (embedded) |
| Snapseed | Medium | High. | Yes. |
| TouchRetouch | Low. | Very high. | Yes (paid) |
Importantly, no method gives 100% guarantee on complex textures, such as tree foliage or brickwork, if the text passes directly through them.
If you plan to process hundreds of photos, it makes sense to spend time learning the cloning functions in advanced editors, which will keep the image natural where automation creates a porridge of pixels.
Package processing and automation
For users who have taken a series of images with a watermark turned on, manual processing of each file can take hours. Unfortunately, the standard Xiaomi gallery does not support batch removal of objects using AI. However, there are applications that allow you to apply filters or stamps directly to a group of files.
Some photo editors allow you to create a preset or processing pattern that can be applied to multiple images. While it is difficult to fully automate text removal at any location in a frame, you can use batch resizing or cropping to simply crop the bottom of the photo, where the logo is usually located.
Covering is a rough but fast method. If the composition of the frame allows you to lose 5-10% of the image from the bottom, it will take seconds. In the gallery, select a photo, click Change β Frame, and raise the bottom line above the text level. Apply these changes to all selected photos.
βοΈ Checklist before batch processing
Nuances of working with RAW and JPEG formats
Redmi Note 9 owners can shoot in the format RAW, In this format, the watermark is often not written directly into the data matrix, but is added as metadata or a separate layer that is easier to separate when post-processing on a computer. JPEG-The text is βbakedβ into the image irrevocably.
When working with RAW-You can ignore the embedded stamp or cover it more effectively with files through third-party converters on a PC (like Lightroom or Darktable), but for a typical smartphone-only user, the difference is minimal: text remains part of the picture.
If youβre planning a serious processing, it makes sense to switch the camera to Pro mode and format. RAW. This will give more freedom when editing and will remove compression artifacts that interfere with the qualitative removal of text in the text. JPEG. But remember that RAW-Files take up much more memory space.
Why can't you just erase the text with a slate?
