How it works

Upload a PDF that has review comments or markup on it. We remove every comment, highlight, and similar annotation while leaving links, form fields, and the page content itself untouched. Files are deleted from our servers automatically after one hour.

FAQ

What counts as an annotation?
Comments, sticky notes, highlights, underlines, strikeouts, shapes, stamps, and freehand markup — anything added on top of the original document as a review mark.
Will this remove links or form fields too?
No — clickable links are left in place since they're navigation, not markup, and form fields are untouched (use Flatten PDF or Fill PDF Form for those).
What if there's nothing to remove?
You'll get a clear message rather than an unchanged download.
