Frequently asked questions

How do I edit a PDF for free?

Choose the change you want from the list above — add text, highlight, fill and sign, reorder or delete pages, watermark, protect and more. Each opens a focused editor that works in your browser with no sign-up.

Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?

PDFs store text as fixed positions, not editable paragraphs, so true reflow editing isn't possible client-side. You can add new text and notes on top, redact or white-out existing content, and reorganise pages.

Is it really free with no watermark?

Yes. Every editor here is free, adds no watermark, and requires no account.

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. All the editors run entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
