Remove the DRAFT watermark from a Word file.
Send the final version.

The document is finished and DRAFT is still printed across every page. Upload the .docx. Unstamp deletes the watermark from every section's header, including the ones Word's own Remove Watermark button leaves behind, and gives you back a Word file ready to send.

Nothing is uploaded until you confirm. The confirmation is recorded with each upload; the file and its name are not.

No account. Your file goes into private storage that only this app can read, and is deleted once it has been processed. The cleaned file can be downloaded for one hour, and a daily sweep deletes it, with anything left unfinished, within about 26 hours. The models run inside this app. House rules

DRAFT sits in the header of every section. All of them are cleared, not only the first.

Body text, styles, comments and tracked changes are not touched, and you get a Word file back, ready to send.

  1. Open

    DRAFT lives in the page header as a shape, once per section. Unstamp reads every header in the file, not only the first.

  2. Lift

    The DRAFT shape is deleted wherever it appears. Body text, styles, comments and tracked changes are not touched.

  3. Return

    A clean .docx comes back in seconds. Export it to PDF from Word as usual.

Before you upload

Word's Remove Watermark button did nothing. Why?

That button only looks in the header of the section you are in, and only for watermarks Word itself inserted. A document built from a template or stitched from several files can carry DRAFT in many headers. Unstamp checks all of them.

Does it also remove SAMPLE, COPY or CONFIDENTIAL?

Yes. The common stamps are recognised without being told, and you can type any other wording into the phrase box.

Will it change anything else in the document?

No. Only the watermark is deleted. The rest of the file is passed through unchanged.

I only have the PDF, not the Word file.

Use the PDF page. If the PDF was exported from Word, the watermark is still a separate object and is removed with the text left as text.

What does it cost?

Nothing at the moment. Finding the mark, seeing the result and downloading the clean file are all free while Unstamp is being opened up.

Is my file kept?

Not for long. Your upload goes into private storage that only this app can read, and is deleted once it has been processed. The cleaned file can be downloaded for one hour, and a daily sweep deletes it, with anything left unfinished, within about 26 hours. The models run inside this app, and nothing is used for training.

Can I use this on a document that is not mine?

No. Unstamp is for documents you own or have permission to edit, and it asks you to confirm that before anything is processed. It refuses stock agency marks and AI generator labels outright.
