Before you can remove the Sora watermark, you need one thing: the link to your video. Sounds simple, but if you've opened the Sora app on your phone and gone looking for a share URL, you've probably noticed it's not exactly obvious. The option is there — it's just buried.
This guide covers every method for getting a Sora video link in 2026: from the web interface, from the iOS app, and from Android. Once you have the link, removing the watermark takes about thirty seconds using Sora Watermark Remover.
Why You Need the Link (Not the Downloaded File)
Before getting into the steps, it's worth explaining why the link is needed in the first place. When you use a link-based watermark removal tool, the system accesses the original Sora-hosted video directly — which gives it a clean, full-resolution source to work with. That's how it reconstructs the pixels behind the watermark logo without degrading your video quality.
If you download the video first and then upload the file, you're adding an extra step and potentially losing quality through re-encoding. Working from the original Sora link skips all of that. The tool fetches the source, processes it, and hands you back a clean version at the same resolution and bitrate as the original.
So: get the link first, then use the tool. That's the workflow this whole guide is built around.
Method 1: Getting the Sora Video Link on Desktop (Web Browser)
The desktop web interface at sora.com is the most straightforward place to grab a video link. Here's the process.
Step 1: Open Your Sora Library
Log into your account at sora.com. In the left-hand navigation, click on My Videos or Library (the exact label has shifted slightly across UI updates — it's the section that shows your past generations). Your generated videos appear as a grid of thumbnails.
Step 2: Open the Video
Click on the thumbnail of the video you want. This opens it in the full-size video player view. The video starts playing in a larger preview, usually centered on the screen with controls visible underneath.
Step 3: Find the Share or Link Option
Look at the icons below or beside the video player. You'll typically see a set of action buttons: download, like/save, and a share or link icon. The share icon usually looks like an arrow pointing upward from a box, or three connected dots (the standard share iconography).
Click that icon. A small dropdown or modal appears with options. Look for Copy link, Share link, or a direct URL field you can copy from.
If you see a field showing the video URL, click into it and select all (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A), then copy it (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C).
Step 4: Check What You Copied
Paste the link into a text editor or the address bar to verify it. A valid Sora video link looks something like:
https://sora.com/g/[unique-video-id]or
https://sora.com/videos/[unique-video-id]The specific URL structure can vary, but the domain will always be sora.com and the path will contain a unique identifier for your video.
Alternative: Copy from the Address Bar
If you've opened the video in its own page (rather than a modal overlay), the URL in your browser's address bar is the video link. You can copy it directly from there — no need to hunt for a share button.
This is often the quickest method on desktop: open the video, look at the address bar, copy it.
Step 5: Use the Link
Head to Sora Watermark Remover, paste the link into the input field, and start the removal process. For a full walkthrough of that step, see our guide on removing the Sora watermark by link.
Method 2: Getting the Sora Video Link on iPhone (iOS)
The iOS app makes sharing a bit more buried, but once you know where to look, it's consistent across app versions.
Step 1: Open the Sora App
Launch the Sora app on your iPhone. Sign in if prompted. You'll land on the home feed or a generation prompt screen.
Step 2: Navigate to Your Video
Tap the profile icon or the library tab — typically a small grid icon at the bottom navigation bar, or your avatar in the top right. This takes you to your personal video library where all your generations are listed.
Scroll to find the video you want. Tap its thumbnail to open it in the full-screen player.
Step 3: Access the Share Options
With the video open, look for a more options button — usually represented by three dots arranged vertically (⋮) or horizontally (•••), positioned in the top-right corner or bottom-right of the player.
Tap those three dots. A bottom sheet slides up from the bottom of the screen with a list of options. You should see choices like:
- Download
- Share
- Copy link
- Report
Tap Copy link or Share. If you tap Copy link, the URL is copied to your clipboard immediately with no further steps. If you tap Share, iOS's native share sheet opens — from there you can paste the link into Notes, Messages, or any app to preserve it.
Step 4: Confirm and Use the Link
Open your browser (Safari or Chrome on iOS) and navigate to sorawatermark-remover.com. Tap the input field and paste the link. The tool accepts Sora video URLs and begins processing — no app installation needed on mobile.
Troubleshooting on iOS
The "Copy link" option doesn't appear: This sometimes happens if the video is set to private or if it's still processing. Check that the generation has fully completed (no spinning indicator on the thumbnail). If it's a generation that failed or is in progress, the share option won't be available.
The app crashes when sharing: Force-quit the app and reopen it. If the problem persists, try opening the video through the web browser on your phone instead and copying the URL from the address bar.
The copied link doesn't work in the removal tool: The link may have copied with extra characters or line breaks. Paste it into the Notes app first to verify it looks like a clean URL, then copy it again from there before pasting into the removal tool.
Method 3: Getting the Sora Video Link on Android
The Android experience is similar to iOS in structure, though the visual details differ based on which phone manufacturer you're using and what version of the Sora app you have installed.
Step 1: Open the App and Go to Your Library
Open the Sora app. Tap the library icon at the bottom of the screen (it looks like a grid of small squares, or your profile avatar). Your generated videos are displayed here as a scrollable feed or grid.
Step 2: Open the Video
Tap the thumbnail of the video you want to get the link for. It opens in the full-screen player. Let it fully load before trying to share — if it's still buffering, the share option may not appear correctly.
Step 3: Tap the Three-Dot Menu
Look for the three-dot overflow menu icon (⋮) in the top-right corner of the player screen. Tap it. A context menu or bottom sheet drops down with action options.
Select Copy link. On Android, this immediately copies the URL to your clipboard with a brief toast notification at the bottom of the screen saying something like "Link copied."
If you don't see a Copy link option, tap Share instead. Android's system share sheet opens. From here, tap Copy to clipboard or look for any option that lets you extract the URL as text. You can also tap Chrome or Firefox if they appear as share destinations — this pastes the link into the browser address bar, where you can then copy it manually.
Step 4: Open the Removal Tool
Open Chrome or your default browser and go to sorawatermark-remover.com. Tap the URL input field, hold down to paste, and insert the link. Tap the submit button to start processing.
The results page will show your video without the watermark, with a download button to save the clean version to your Android device.
Android-Specific Notes
Android devices from some manufacturers (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, etc.) handle clipboard behavior slightly differently. If the link paste doesn't work correctly, try:
- Long-press the input field on the removal tool page
- Select "Paste" from the popup that appears
- If nothing pastes, go back to the Sora app, copy the link again, then switch immediately to the browser without doing anything else in between
Switching between too many apps can sometimes clear the clipboard on older Android versions (Android 10 and earlier had some apps that cleared clipboard after a timeout).
Method 4: Getting the Link from Sora's Web Version on Mobile
If you're on a phone but want to skip the app entirely, you can access sora.com directly in your mobile browser. This often gives you the most predictable sharing behavior because you're working with the same interface as the desktop.
On Mobile Safari (iPhone)
- Open Safari and go to
sora.com - Log in and navigate to your library
- Open the video
- Look at the URL in the address bar at the top — that's the shareable link
- Tap the address bar, select all, and copy
- Open a new tab, go to
sorawatermark-remover.com, paste, and process
On Mobile Chrome (Android)
- Open Chrome and go to
sora.com - Log in and open your video
- Tap the address bar at the top to see the full URL
- Long-press the URL field, select all text, and copy it
- Navigate to
sorawatermark-remover.comin the same or a new tab and paste the URL
The mobile web approach tends to be the most reliable if you're running into problems with the app's share function. It also bypasses any app-specific bugs that might be affecting the share feature in a particular version.
Common Mistakes That Break the Link
Even after you've copied the link, a few things can cause it to not work in the removal tool. Here's what to watch out for.
The Video Is Set to Private
Sora has account-level privacy settings. If your video is set to only be viewable by you, the link will work when you're logged into your account — but it won't be accessible to external services, including the watermark removal tool.
Fix: Change the video visibility to "unlisted" or "public" before copying the link. You can usually do this through the same three-dot menu where you found the share option. Look for a "Privacy" or "Visibility" setting. You don't have to make the video fully public — unlisted means anyone with the link can view it, but it won't appear in search or public feeds.
The Link Has an Extra Space or Character
When copying and pasting from some apps, invisible characters or line breaks can get appended to the URL. This causes the removal tool to return an error because the URL doesn't match the expected format.
Fix: Paste the link into a plain text editor (Notes on iOS, Keep on Android, Notepad on Windows) first. Inspect it visually — make sure it starts with https:// and doesn't have any trailing spaces. Copy it clean from the text editor before using it.
The Video Is Still Processing
Sora doesn't generate videos instantly for every prompt. If you try to get the share link for a video that's still queued or rendering, the link may exist but the video won't be accessible to the removal tool yet.
Fix: Wait for the generation to complete fully. The thumbnail should be a static preview frame, not an animated loading indicator. Once it's fully ready, copy the link.
The Link Has Expired
Sora video links are generally stable for as long as the video exists in your account. However, if you delete a video from your Sora library, the link becomes invalid. Also, be cautious about link behavior if you're on a free trial or if your subscription lapses — access to generated videos can change based on account status.
What to Do Once You Have the Link
With a valid Sora video URL in hand, the watermark removal process itself is quick:
- Go to Sora Watermark Remover
- Paste the link into the input field on the homepage
- Click the process button
- Wait for the tool to fetch and process your video (usually under two minutes)
- Download the clean, watermark-free version

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the link expire?
Sora video links remain active as long as the video exists in your account. They don't time out after a few hours. The only reason a link stops working is if you delete the video or if your account access changes.
Can I use a direct download link instead of the Sora page URL?
The removal tool works with Sora's shareable video page URLs (the sora.com/g/... style). It's designed for those, not for direct video file links. Use the page URL you get from the share or copy-link function.
Do I need to be logged into Sora when using the removal tool?
No. Once you've copied the share link and (if necessary) set the video to unlisted, the removal tool can access it without your account credentials. You only need to be logged into Sora to copy the link.
What if Sora keeps logging me out on mobile?
This is a session issue, not a sharing issue. Make sure your phone's browser isn't set to block cookies for sora.com — that causes frequent logouts on mobile browsers. In-app, ensure the Sora app has permission to store data on your device. If the problem persists, try the web interface in a private/incognito window, log in, copy the link, then close the private window.
The video link works when I open it in a browser, but the removal tool says "invalid link."
Double-check that you're copying the video's individual page URL, not the Sora homepage or your library page. The URL should contain a unique video identifier in the path. If you're on the right page and the tool still rejects it, try using the remove Sora watermark guide which covers alternative methods if the link-based approach doesn't work for a particular video.
Summary
Getting a Sora video link for watermark removal comes down to one consistent pattern: open your video, find the share or copy-link option, and grab the URL. The exact steps vary slightly between web, iOS, and Android — but the result is the same clean URL that the removal tool needs.
Quick reference:
| Platform | Steps |
|---|---|
| Desktop web | Open video → copy URL from address bar or share button |
| iOS app | Open video → three dots → Copy link |
| Android app | Open video → three dots → Copy link |
| Mobile web | Open video in browser → copy from address bar |
Once you have the link, head to Sora Watermark Remover, paste it in, and download the clean version. The whole process from "I have the link" to "I have the clean video" is typically under two minutes.
