Maximum file size: 50 MBRemove comments and annotations from a PDF
PDF annotations can include highlights, sticky notes, comments, drawings, stamps, underlines and other markup added on top of the original document.
This tool removes those annotation objects while keeping the underlying PDF page content intact.
Original PDF quality is preserved
Pages are not converted into images. Selectable text, vectors, images and normal page content remain as PDF content.
Links and form fields are kept
Hyperlinks and interactive form fields are preserved rather than being treated as removable annotations.
Remove annotations without flattening the PDF
Removing annotations is different from flattening a PDF. This tool deletes supported annotation objects directly instead of rendering every page as an image.
Remove PDF highlights
Highlights added as PDF annotations can be removed while the original selectable text underneath remains available.
Remove PDF comments and sticky notes
Comment and text-note annotations can be deleted from the document without changing the underlying page content.
Remove drawings and stamps
Annotation-based markup such as drawing objects and stamps can also be removed when they are stored as standard PDF annotations.
When should I use Flatten PDF instead?
Use Flatten PDF when you intentionally want to convert the visual appearance of every page into a fixed image-based PDF. Flattening is more destructive and removes selectable/vector page content.
