Remove Annotations

Step by step

How To Remove Annotations

Strip highlights, strikeouts, notes, links and more out of a document — all of them in one run, or only the types and pages you pick.

1. 1

   Upload your PDF

   Drop in a document and its marks show up on the sheet — highlights, strikeouts, sticky notes, shapes, free text and stamps, just as a reader would see them. Files are deleted after 2 hours.

   
2. 2

   Pick the types

   All thirteen types are ticked to start: Highlight, Strikeout, Underline, Ink / Draw, Polygon, Square, Circle, Line / Arrow, Polyline, Link, Text, Free text and Popup / Comment. The All box rules them — untick any single type and All unticks itself; click All to sweep them all back on.

   
3. 3

   Name pages and run

   Only from specific pages takes ranges like 1-10,13,14 — a trailing dash opens to the end of the document (12- means page 12 onwards) — or leave it blank for every page. Press Remove annotations and the cleaned file comes back ready to download. Stamps stay put: they're artwork, not annotations.

   

• Thirteen types

  Highlights and ink to links, notes and popups — each one a tick of its own.

• All, in one tick

  The master box arms or disarms every type at once — and follows your single ticks.

• Pages or everything

  Ranges like 1-10,13,14 — a trailing dash means “to the end.”

• Links too

  Clickable links are annotations as well — sweep them away with the rest.

• Stamps stay put

  Stamps are artwork rather than annotations — they survive the sweep untouched.

• Private by default

  No account, no watermark — and every file is automatically deleted after 2 hours.
