Xiaomi Redmi 7 smartphone owners often encounter an intrusive brand logo in the corner of each shot, which is automatically added by the MIUI system to emphasize which device the photo is taken on. However, for many users, the presence of the text "Shot on Xiaomi Redmi 7" is an extra element that spoils the composition of the frame. Fortunately, the smartphone software makes it easy to manage this feature without the need to install complex applications.
There are several ways to get rid of unwanted labels. The easiest and most reliable way is to turn off the feature in the standard camera settings before shooting. If the picture is already taken and saved in the gallery, you will need retouching tools or third-party programs. Understanding the work of image processing algorithms on Android will help you quickly get your albums in order.
In this article, we will take a look at all the available methods for removing logos, how to set up a camera once so you don’t think about it anymore, and what apps will help you fix existing photos, and we will look at both the standard MIUI tools and effective third-party solutions.
Disabling the watermark in the camera settings
The best way to approach this is to prevent the logo from appearing at the time of shooting. You don't have to be an expert in mobile photography. The camera interface on the Xiaomi Redmi 7 is designed to be intuitive, although some menu items can be hidden in additional tabs. Disabling this feature will take you no more than a minute, but save time in the future.
To start, run the standard Camera app. In the upper right corner of the screen, you'll see an icon that looks like three horizontal bars or a gear -- that's the settings menu. Clicking on this element opens up a list of all the options available for shooting, including resolution, framing grid, and flash operation, and that's where the switch that's responsible for branding the shots is hidden.
Scroll down to the optional feature or design section. Find a watermark (or watermark in English firmware) that will have a slider next to it. If it's blue or green, it's active. Click on it to change the state to off. Now the logo will disappear from all future photos.
☑️ Checking camera settings
It’s worth noting that some versions of the MIUI shell can group settings into categories. If you don’t see the switch right away, try looking for it in the Additional tab. Also make sure you’re in normal photo mode, rather than in specific scenarios like Portrait or Night, where settings can be duplicated or take priority.
Use of the built-in gallery editor
If you've already taken a photo and it has a watermark, don't rush to remove it. The Xiaomi Redmi 7 has a powerful graphics editor built right into the Gallery app, which allows you to do basic retouching, cropping and filtering. The Lastik or Magic feature can do wonders with small text elements in the corner of the frame.
Open the image in the gallery and click Change (usually a pencil or slider icon). In the bottom menu, select Retouch or Lastic tool. When you tap the watermark area, the system will try to automatically analyze the surrounding pixels and replace the text with a background image. This method works best on a homogeneous background, such as the sky or the wall.
The Secret to Accurate Deletion
In cases where automatic deletion leaves artifacts, you can use the Cover tool. If the logo is in the corner and doesn't cover important details of the image, just trim the image. Choose the Cover tool, set the frames so that the text is outside, and save the changes. This is the fastest way, not requiring deep processing.
However, it is important to keep in mind the risks of using automatic tools.
⚠️ Attention: When retouching complex textures (herb, hair, patterns), an automatic eraser can create a blurred stain. In such cases, it is better to use framing or third-party applications with manual control.
Third-party applications for object removal
Staff tools don't always do a perfect job, especially if the background is patchy, and then specialized apps from Google Play come to the rescue, and they use more advanced AI algorithms to fill out remote areas, and popular programs like Snapseed, TouchRetouch, or Remove & Add Object are doing great.
Consider the process using Google's Snapseed app, which is free and available for Redmi 7. After uploading photos to the app, go to the Tools menu and select the Dot. Point your finger on the watermark and gently paint it over. The app will instantly replace the text with the right background. For complex cases, you can use the Healing function, working in small strokes.
💡
Use Cloning apps for complex backgrounds, which allows you to manually copy the texture from a clean section of the photo and close the watermark with it, preserving the structure of the image.
Other applications, like Remove & Add Object, offer a fully automated process, where you just use your finger to highlight the area of the text, and the algorithm itself defines the boundaries and removes the object, and the advantage of these programs is speed, although the quality of the retouch can vary depending on the complexity of the image and the resolution of the source.
When choosing an app, look for ads and watermarks from the editor. Some free versions of the software add their logo when saved, which creates a new problem. Look for the phrase "no watermark" or "export without watermark" in the description to avoid double work.
Online services for photo processing
If you don't want to clog up Xiaomi's memory with new apps, you can use online services that work right in your Chrome or MI Browser browser and don't need installation, and it's a great solution for a one-time processing of multiple shots when you don't have a computer at hand and the quality of the staff editor is not satisfied.
One of the most effective tools is Cleanup.pictures, or analogues like PhotoRoom, which is simple: you upload a photo to a site, you brush over a watermark, and the server returns the processed image. Neural network-based algorithms often do better than mobile applications because they use more powerful computing resources.
| Service | Type of processing | Registration is required. | Quality. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleanup.pictures | Automatic (AI) | No. | High. |
| PhotoRoom | Semi-automatic | Yes (partially) | Average. |
| Fotor | Manual/automatic | Yes. | High. |
| InPaint Online | Automatic. | No. | Average. |
An important nuance when using online services is the speed of the Internet connection. Uploading photos in full resolution and downloading the result can take time when mobile Internet is unstable. Also, remember about privacy: do not upload personal or sensitive photos to third-party servers if you are not sure about the security policy of the service.
Comparison of Logo Deletion Methods
The choice of method depends on your goals and the number of photos you need to process. If you are just planning to shoot, switching off the settings is the only option. For single old shots, an integrated editor or cropping will do. If you want to process an album of hundreds of photos with preservation of quality, you better use batch processing on a PC or advanced mobile applications.
Redmi 7 owners need to consider the device’s specifications. The smartphone is equipped with a Snapdragon 625 processor that can slowly cope with heavy real-time image processing in third-party applications.
The quality of the final image also plays a role. When you framing, you lose a part of the frame, which can disrupt the composition. When retouching, background detail can suffer. The optimal solution is a combination of methods: disabling the sign for new photos and neatly retouching important old photos through a PC or quality applications.
Legal aspects are also important: removing watermarks from someone else's copyrighted photos may be illegal, and this instruction is intended solely to remove your device logo from personal photos, and respect the intellectual property of other authors.
