About this tool

Removes all annotations from a PDF — comments, highlights, stamps, and links — while leaving the page content completely untouched.

Remove Annotations cleans the markup layer off a PDF while keeping the document content exactly as it is. PDFs often accumulate comments, highlights, underlines, stamps, sticky notes, and hyperlinks during review cycles — clutter that isn't appropriate for the final version shared with clients, printed, or archived. This tool removes every annotation from the document in one pass, producing a clean copy with the page content, layout, and quality untouched.

The tool reports how many annotations it found and on which pages before you remove them, so you know exactly what's being stripped. Because processing happens entirely in your browser, marked-up documents and the notes inside them never leave your device.
