What to remove

What to check

  • Dimensions and tolerances next to each mask
  • Material, finish and revision notes
  • Part numbers that may identify the supplier

From upload to download

  1. Set the sharing rules

    Enter known names and spelling variants. Turn on logo detection if marks also need to be removed.

  2. Compare both versions

    Inspect the title block, revision table and notes. Keep restores a selection; a manual box covers a missed area.

  3. Export a sharing copy

    Run the output text check, download the PDF, and inspect fine lines and small dimensions in the downloaded file.

Before you send the result

The export is a PDF made from page images. It does not retain CAD vectors or selectable source text. This service does not edit DWG files or certify that manufacturing information is unchanged.

Task images and results stay saved until you delete the task. There is no automatic expiry. Optional identity and logo analysis uses external services. Read the processing and privacy policy.

Questions before you start

Can I remove a logo without hiding nearby dimensions?

Suggested logo areas can be reviewed, kept or supplemented with manual boxes. Check the boundary at a useful zoom level; nearby dimensions can fall inside a mask.

Does it preserve dimensions and materials?

Content outside the selected masks remains visible in the rendered output. You must check legibility and the mask boundaries. There is no independent verification of technical specifications.
