# PDF Editor Without Watermarks

The exported file contains your document and your edits. Nothing else is added to it — not a watermark, not a footer, not even a producer tag if you strip the metadata.

A watermark on a free tool's output is a sales tactic: it makes the result unusable for anything you would actually send to someone, so you upgrade. It is also easy to miss until you have already emailed the file. Nothing is added to the document here. The export contains the original page content plus the edits you made, and that is all — no watermark, no promotional footer, no trailing 'created with' page. If you want to go further, ticking Remove metadata on export deletes the title, author, creation date and the producer field that would otherwise name the software used, so the file carries no trace of the tool at all. That matters for anonymous submissions, competitive bids and anything where the provenance of the document is itself sensitive. All of it happens in your browser, so the document never leaves your device in the first place.

## How it works

1. **Open your PDF** — Drop in a file — it's read in your browser, never uploaded
2. **Make your changes** — Edit text, annotate, sign, and rearrange pages
3. **Export** — Download the result, with a password if you want one

## Use cases

- **Client-facing documents**: Send an edited proposal or invoice with nothing advertising a third-party tool on it
- **Anonymous submissions**: Strip the metadata that would otherwise identify the author or the software
- **Official paperwork**: Submit forms that must not carry extra marks
- **Competitive bids**: Remove the file properties that could reveal timing or authorship

## Tips

- **Tick Remove metadata**: It clears the title, author, dates and the producer field, so the file does not name the software that made it.
- **Check before sending**: Open the exported file's document properties to confirm it contains only what you expect.
- **Password-protect instead**: If the concern is who can open the file rather than what it reveals, add a password on export.

## FAQ

### Is anything added to the exported file?

No. It contains the original page content and your edits, nothing else.

### Does the file mention the tool anywhere?

Only in the PDF producer field, which the Remove metadata option deletes.

### Is there a limit before a watermark appears?

No. There is no watermark at any usage level.

### What does Remove metadata delete?

Title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer and the creation and modification dates, plus the XMP metadata stream that duplicates them.

### Does removing metadata change the content?

No. Only the invisible document properties are removed; every page looks the same.
