Questions

Will this remove highlights from the text?

Yes, highlight, underline and strike-out annotations go. Highlights that were printed into the page itself can't be removed.

Are my files uploaded?

Runs in your browser, so your file is not uploaded.

Is Delete annotations free?

Yes. No signup and no watermark.

Will it work on an old phone?

Yes for most files. On low-memory phones files up to 20 MB are safest; above your device's limit you get a warning and can try anyway.

Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?

Yes. It runs in any current browser, so there is nothing to install on any of them.
