About Free PDF Edit

A PDF editor that runs in your browser, keeps your files on your machine, and is straight with you about what it cannot do.

Open the editor

What it is

A PDF editor built as a web page. Open a file and every line of real text becomes editable in place, with the document's own fonts. Add text, erase, highlight, draw, insert images, rotate and drop pages, then save.

How it handles your files

The PDF is read, edited and written entirely by code running in your browser. There is no server involved, no account, and no copy of your document anywhere but your own machine. You can verify this: load the page, disconnect from the internet, and carry on editing.

What it will not do

Being clear about the limits saves everyone time:

Built on open source

Rendering and parsing use PDF.js, maintained by Mozilla. Writing uses pdf-lib, and font embedding uses fontkit. All three are open source and widely deployed.

No ads, no tracking pixels, no upsell

There is no paid tier to nudge you toward, no watermark on the output and no page limit. If the tool does what you need, that is the whole transaction.

Start editing

The editor opens instantly and runs on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account to create.
