Field notes
The workflow starts with a file selected on the device, then lists watermark objects and the evidence for each before the user chooses what to remove. For marks drawn directly into page content, the offered whiteout covers the area rather than deleting it; scanned-image stamps are listed as unsupported. The page reports Chrome desktop timings for two test files, including a 73 MB, 400-page file, but those measurements are site-reported.
