Remove Annotations
Delete comments, highlights, drawings, stamps and links from the PDF structure without rasterizing pages.
Remove Annotations online, free and private
Comments, highlights, ink, stamps and links live in a PDF's annotation arrays. This tool removes those objects without turning pages into images, so original text and graphics stay intact.
The complete workflow runs locally in your browser. Your source file is not sent to PDFToolz or stored on a server.

Why use PDFToolz for this
On-device processing
PDF parsing, rendering and export happen in browser memory, without an upload step.
Clear scope
This removes annotation objects, not marks that were previously flattened into page content. Flattened marks require content editing or redaction.
No account required
Use the tool without signup, a trial, a watermark or a server-side file quota.
Built for real documents
Progress feedback, device-memory limits and output descriptions make the result predictable before download.
