For your own documents.
And only those.

Your own documents

Unstamp takes status marks such as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL and SAMPLE off Word files, PDFs, scans and pictures that you own or have the owner's permission to edit. Before anything is processed you are asked to confirm that, every time.

Marks that say whose work it is

The service reads what a watermark says. If it is the mark of a stock agency, or a label saying a picture was made by an AI generator, the file is refused and nothing is removed. If you have licensed a stock image, the agency gives you the clean file.

Stock agencies recognised Shutterstock, Getty Images, iStock, Adobe Stock, Alamy, Dreamstime, Depositphotos, 123RF, Pond5, Bigstock, Freepik, Envato, Storyblocks, Stocksy, Vecteezy, Fotolia, Thinkstock, Pixta.

AI generator labels recognised Sora, Veo, Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, Kling, labels such as “AI generated”.

The list grows.

The confirmation, not the file

For every upload a line is kept with the time, the kind of file, its size, a fingerprint of its contents, and a scrambled identifier for the connection it came from. Refusals are recorded the same way, with the rule that applied. The file itself and its name are never written into this record.

Uploads are deleted once they have been processed, and cleaned files within about 26 hours.

Three refusals pause the service

Three refused uploads from one connection within a day pause uploads from that connection for a day. A connection that keeps trying to remove other people's marks can be blocked altogether.
