Does It Work for All NotebookLM PDF Themes?

Yes. The tool works on all NotebookLM PDF slide themes and design styles:

• White / light background slides ✅
• Dark / black background slides ✅
• Colourful gradient background slides ✅
• Content-dense slides with charts and text ✅
• Image-heavy slides ✅

The removal is designed for the specific position, size, and compositing method Google uses for the NotebookLM watermark - it works regardless of what's in the background.

Troubleshooting: Common Issues

The watermark is still faintly visible after processing

This can happen if the PDF was generated with an older or modified version of NotebookLM's watermark. Try re-exporting your slide deck from NotebookLM (sometimes a fresh export resolves format variations) and process again.

Processing is slow

The tool uses your device's processing power. On older devices or very large PDFs (100+ pages), processing takes longer. Close other browser tabs to free up memory and processing resources.

The download doesn't start

Check your browser's popup blocker settings. Some browsers block automatic downloads. Allow downloads from our site in your browser settings and try again.
