Hosted tool that erases handwritten notes and highlighting from JPG, PNG and PDF files, leaving printed text and layout in place. Browser, iOS and Android apps and an API; free trial, then credits by subscription or packs. Note before using it: files are uploaded to the operator's servers (Shenzhen Liwa Software Technology Co., Ltd.), whose deletion and no-training claims are its own, and the output is an altered copy of the document.
