Terms of Service
Short, specific, and written for what this actually is: a free tool with no account, no payment, and no copy of your files.
Effective date: August 10, 2026
What you are agreeing to
By using NotebookLM Remover you accept the terms on this page. If you do not accept them, do not use the tools. There is no account to close and no subscription to cancel — closing the tab ends the relationship completely.
These terms are the plain description of an arrangement, not legal advice. If you need to know how they interact with the law where you live, ask someone qualified to tell you.
What the service is
NotebookLM Remover is a free website that removes visible watermarks from files exported by Google's NotebookLM (also branded Gemini Notebook) and Gemini. It covers video, PDF slides, PPTX decks, infographics, Gemini images, podcast audio, and image metadata.
The processing runs inside your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, because there is no upload endpoint to receive it. This shapes almost every clause below — most of what a service agreement normally has to say about stored data simply has no subject matter here.
No account, no payment
There is no registration, no login, no free tier, and no paid tier. You are not a customer, because nothing is sold to you. The site is funded by advertising, as described in the privacy policy. If you use an ad blocker, the tools still work.
Your files stay yours
We claim no ownership, licence, or other right over any file you process. That is not generosity; it is a fact of the architecture. Standard terms of service grant the operator a licence to host, copy, and display user content because the operator has to store it in order to serve it. We never receive your files, so there is nothing for such a licence to attach to, and we do not ask for one.
The output belongs to you on the same terms the input did. Cleaning a file changes how it looks, not who holds rights to what is in it.
Your responsibilities
You are responsible for having the right to process the files you select. In the ordinary case this is trivial — you exported the file from your own NotebookLM notebook or your own Gemini session, and the question does not arise. It stops being trivial when the file came from somewhere else.
You agree not to use these tools to strip attribution from work that is not yours, to circumvent DRM, paywalls, or access controls, or to hide the AI origin of content where a platform or a law requires that origin to be disclosed. The acceptable use policy sets this out in concrete terms and forms part of these terms.
Because processing happens on your device and we never see the file, we have no technical means to review or block what you do. That is precisely why the responsibility sits with you.
No warranty
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not guarantee that any particular file will process successfully. It is worth being concrete about why, because these are real limits rather than defensive boilerplate:
- Memory. A browser tab has a finite memory budget, and video work in WebAssembly is memory-hungry. Large or long files can exhaust it and fail. Uploads are capped at 500 MB on desktop and 100 MB on mobile for that reason — the cap is an honest limit of the approach, not an upsell.
- Detection. The watermark engines target the mark as Google currently produces it, at the positions and sizes measured from real exports. If Google changes the badge, output that used to be handled cleanly may not be, until the engine is updated.
- Browser support. The tools need a current browser with WebAssembly support. Older browsers, restrictive enterprise policies, or extensions that block scripts can prevent them from running.
- Quality. Some engines are mathematically lossless and some reconstruct the area they cleared. Where the result is an estimate, the about page says so.
Always keep your original file until you have checked the result.
What the tools deliberately do not do
These tools remove visible marks. They do not remove SynthID or any other invisible or cryptographic watermark; those are embedded in the underlying pixel and audio data, survive this processing, and remain detectable afterwards. Nothing on this site should be described, resold, or relied on as a way of making AI-generated content undetectable.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, files, profits, or opportunity, arising from your use of or inability to use this site.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions of liability, and where that is the case those exclusions do not apply to you.
Availability and changes to the tools
This is a small independent project. The site may be unavailable during deployment or an outage at our host, and individual tools may be changed, degraded, or withdrawn — for example if an engine stops working against a new export format and cannot be repaired. We may add, modify, or discontinue any part of the service at any time, without notice and without liability. Because nothing is stored on your behalf, a discontinued tool costs you no data.
Intellectual property and trademarks
The site's code, design, written content, and engine implementations belong to the project. You may use the tools freely; you may not copy the site wholesale and present it as your own service.
NotebookLM Remover is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to Google in any way. "Google", "NotebookLM", "Gemini Notebook", and "Gemini" are trademarks of Google LLC, used here only to identify the file formats these tools work with.
Third-party services
The site loads code and services from third parties — Google AdSense, Google Analytics, Google Fonts, and Cloudflare — and the engine libraries from our own CDN. Those parties operate under their own terms and policies, which we do not control. The privacy policy names each of them and explains what they receive.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms. When we do, the revised text is published on this page with a new effective date, and material changes are noted in the changelog so there is a dated record. Continuing to use the site after a revision means you accept the current version. There is no mailing list, so this page is the authoritative copy.
