Find and delete text and image watermarks such as CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT or SAMPLE. Only the watermark is removed — the rest of the PDF stays sharp and selectable.

Only remove watermarks from documents you own or have permission to edit.
Most PDF watermarks — like CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, SAMPLE or a faded company logo — are stored as separate objects on each page. This tool finds those objects and deletes them, leaving the original text, images and layout untouched. Unlike tools that turn every page into a picture, your text stays selectable and the file stays small.
If a document was scanned or printed to an image, the watermark is part of the picture itself and is not a separate object. Removing it would mean editing the image, which this tool does not do. In that case, ask the sender for an unwatermarked copy.
Watermarks added as a separate layer or object: Acrobat and similar "Watermark" features, text such as CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT or SAMPLE stamped across pages, watermark annotations and faded logo images. The tool finds them automatically and lets you choose what to remove.
No. Only the watermark objects are deleted; everything else in the file stays exactly as it was. Text remains selectable and searchable, and images are not re-compressed.
If the watermark is part of a scanned page or was merged into a photo of the page, it is not a separate object and cannot be removed without damaging the content. Also check that the text you typed matches the watermark exactly.
Remove the password first with the PDF Password Remover tool (you need to know the password), then remove the watermark.
Removing a watermark from your own documents, drafts or files you have permission to edit is fine. Do not remove watermarks from copyrighted material or documents that belong to someone else.
No. The PDF is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
