Remove Watermark from PDF

Drag it in or click to browse. Thumbnails appear and a page opens in the editor.

In Manual Erase mode, drag a box over the watermark or logo — the area is blanked. Use Auto Detect to find marks automatically, or Undo to step back.

If the mark is in the same place on every page, draw the box once and enter a range in Apply to pages (e.g. "1-10").

Upload the PDF, then in Manual Erase mode drag a box over the watermark or logo — that area is blanked. You can also use Auto Detect to find marks. When the page looks clean, click Download Cleaned PDF. Everything runs in your browser with no upload.

Manual Erase lets you draw a box over exactly the mark you want gone — precise and reliable. Auto Detect scans the page for likely watermark elements and proposes them for removal, which you can apply or clear. Use Auto Detect for a quick first pass, then Manual Erase to clean up anything it misses.

Not cleanly. The tool blanks whatever is inside the box you draw, so a watermark printed behind a paragraph can't be removed without also blanking that text. This tool is best for marks in headers, footers, margins, or whitespace. For watermarks woven through body text, dedicated reconstruction software is needed.

On the pages you edit, no. To make sure an erased mark is truly gone rather than hidden in a layer, the tool rasterizes the edited pages — it renders them to a high-resolution image. That keeps the layout crisp but means text on those pages becomes an image. Pages you don't edit keep their original selectable text.

Draw the erase box once on a representative page, then enter a page range in Apply to pages — for example "1-10" — and the same area is cleared on all of them. This is ideal for a repeating footer logo or stamp that appears in the same position throughout.

Yes. The Undo button reverses your last erasure, and Clear Page removes all edits on the current page so you can start over. Because your original file is never changed, you can also just reload it if you want a completely fresh start.

Marks that sit on their own — a logo in a corner, a stamp in the margin, or text in whitespace — come out cleanest, since the erase box only needs to cover the mark. It works best on white or light backgrounds, where the blanked area blends in seamlessly.

No. The whole process runs in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device or reaches a server. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads. That makes it safe for sensitive documents; closing the tab clears the file from memory.

Yes. The tool works in any modern browser on iPhone or Android — you can draw erase boxes by touch. Precise boxing is easier on a larger screen, so a laptop is more comfortable for detailed cleanup, but a phone works for simple corner or footer marks.

Yes. The tool is free, adds no branding of its own to your output, and needs no account. Erase the marks you want gone and download a cleaned file with no paywall.

No. The tool builds a new cleaned PDF for you to download; your original stays exactly as it was on your device. Keep it until you've confirmed the result, especially since edited pages are rasterized.

Remove watermarks only from documents you own or are authorized to edit — for example, your own draft or a file your organization permits you to clean. Removing a copyright or ownership mark from someone else's document without permission can breach copyright. This is information, not legal advice.
