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.
Do you upload my files to a server?+
No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.
Is there a file size limit?+
There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
