What this tool does
Remove Links from PDF strips the clickable hyperlinks out of a PDF while leaving the page content in place. The link destinations and clickable areas come out, so nothing jumps to a website when tapped, but the text and layout stay exactly as printed. You download a clean copy that is safe to share.
How it works
Open your PDF and the tool reads it in your browser, finds the link annotations, and removes them while keeping the pages intact. Download the cleaned file when it is ready. Your original stays untouched and nothing is uploaded.
When to use Remove Links from PDF
Sharing a PDF without live clickable links
Removing tracking or affiliate links before distribution
Neutralizing links in a document from an untrusted source
Flattening links for a print-ready file
FAQ
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is processed in your browser and never leaves your device.
Can I review the links first?
Yes. Use Extract Links from PDF to see every link before you remove them.
