PDF Clear - Watermark Remover

PDF Clear – Watermark Remover

PDF Clear is a simple Chrome extension that helps you remove visible watermarks from PDF files using a hands-on, visual approach.

Instead of running risky automatic tools that often damage text or layouts, PDF Clear lets you manually clean watermark areas on a canvas, so you can control exactly what gets removed and what stays untouched.

Everything runs inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded anywhere.

What You Can Do

Open a PDF directly in the extension

Visually select watermark areas

Clean them using smooth color blending

Download the updated PDF instantly

No accounts. No sign-ups. No background processes.

Why Use PDF Clear?

Most watermark remover tools either:

Break the document layout

Remove useful content along with the watermark

Or require uploading sensitive files to unknown servers

PDF Clear avoids all of that by keeping things manual, local, and transparent.

You see what you’re removing — and you decide when it’s done.

Privacy & Permissions

The extension only asks for download permission so it can save your cleaned PDF

No tracking

No analytics

No external servers

Your files stay on your computer.

FAQ Does this remove watermarks automatically?

No. PDF Clear is a manual tool by design. This avoids accidental damage to text and images that automatic removers often cause.

Will my PDF quality be affected?

If you use it carefully, the original content stays intact. Results depend on how complex the watermark and background are.

Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Can I use it on scanned PDFs?

Yes, but scanned documents may need more manual cleanup depending on scan quality.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once installed, you can use it without an internet connection.

Is it free?

Yes. The current version is free.

Is it legal to use?

Only remove watermarks from documents you own or have permission to edit. You are responsible for how you use the extension.
