Stamps mark documents as draft, internal, or sample for a reason. Only remove them from documents you own and have authority to modify.
Do I need to prove I purchased the template?
For known marketplaces (Etsy, Creative Market, TemplateMonster) we ask for the order ID. For generic SAMPLE marks we don't require proof but we may refuse jobs that look like preview-pdf piracy.
Will fonts and layout be preserved?
Yes, the cleanup operates on the watermark layer only. Original typography and pagination survive untouched.
What about embedded images marked SAMPLE?
If an image inside the PDF carries its own SAMPLE watermark, we run the image cleanup pipeline on that asset too.
Maximum PDF size?
Free: 25 MB / 50 pages. Pro: 500 MB / unlimited pages.
Is the cleaned PDF still searchable?
Yes. Text remains text. For rasterized samples, we OCR after cleanup.
How PDF "Sample" Overlay Remover watermark removal works.
Marketplace template sellers (Etsy, Creative Market, TemplateMonster) and PDF SaaS tools (DocuSign, Adobe Sign trial) ship preview PDFs with a SAMPLE or PREVIEW watermark on every page. Once the customer pays or upgrades, they're entitled to a clean version, but many marketplaces deliver the clean copy as a separate file, and trial software often doesn't unlock previously-generated PDFs. Our remover handles both cases: paste a marketplace order ID or upload the trial output, and we strip the overlay layer cleanly while preserving fonts, layout, and selectable text.
