Remove Watermark from PDF — frequently asked questions

Which watermarks can this remove?+

Watermarks and stamps that a PDF tool added as an annotation or as an optional-content layer — which is how most 'add watermark' features and 'sample'/'confidential' stamps work.

It says no watermark was found — why?+

The mark is drawn directly into the page's content, or it's part of a scanned page image. Those can't be lifted out without re-creating the document; cover them with the Redact tool instead.

Is my PDF uploaded?+

No. The whole operation runs in your browser with pdf-lib — nothing is sent to a server.

Will removing the watermark also remove my comments?+

It targets watermark and stamp annotations and named watermark layers. Ordinary highlights and notes are kept.

Uploaden jullie mijn bestanden naar een server?+

Nee — elke tool hier verwerkt je bestanden volledig op je apparaat, en er wordt niets naar een server geüpload. De enige uitzondering zijn de AI-tools, die de geëxtraheerde tekst (niet het bestand) naar Claude sturen om hun werk te doen.

Is er een limiet voor bestandsgrootte?+

Wij leggen geen kunstmatige limiet op, maar omdat de verwerking in je browser gebeurt, worden zeer grote bestanden (500+ MB of 1.000+ pagina's) beperkt door het geheugen van je apparaat, niet door ons.
