FAQ

Common questions about Scanned PDF Stamp Remover.

Don't see your question? Ask support →

Will the cleaned PDF be searchable?

Yes. We re-OCR the page after cleanup so text under the stamp becomes selectable.

Does it work on color or grayscale scans?

Both. Color scans give the cleanest separation; grayscale relies on contrast detection.

Can I remove a notary stamp?

Only from documents you own or are authorized to modify. Removing notary stamps from official records is fraud, we refuse jobs we suspect are unauthorized.

What about handwritten signatures?

We treat signatures as content by default. Brush over them only if you have authority to remove them.

Maximum PDF size?

Free: 25 MB / 50 pages. Pro: 500 MB / unlimited pages.

About Scanned PDF Stamp Remover

How Scanned PDF Stamp Remover watermark removal works.

Scanned documents accumulate stamps over their lifetime, RECEIVED stamps from intake clerks, APPROVED stamps from review queues, ink notary stamps, and incidental ink marks from handling. These stamps are baked into the page imagery, so PDF-layer removal won't help. Our remover separates ink stamps from document text by color channel, masks the stamp region, and runs content-aware inpainting to rebuild the underlying text. We re-run OCR after the cleanup so the document text remains searchable in the output. Works on color and grayscale scans up to 200 MB.
