A PDF editor that is actually free
Add text, drop in a signature, highlight, white-out, reorder pages — then download it. No account, no upload, no watermark, no “free trial” that wants a card at the end.
Edit the text itself
Click a line to reword it, or find & replace across every page. The old words are removed from the file, not covered.
Add text & sign
Type anywhere on the page, or draw, type or upload your signature.
Mark it up
Highlight, white-out, draw, add boxes and arrows, and stamp page or Bates numbers.
Rearrange pages
Reorder, rotate, duplicate and delete pages, then download the result.
Why “actually”
No paywall at the download button
There is no paid tier, so there is nothing to upsell you at the last step.
Your file never leaves this tab
The PDF is opened, edited and re-written by your own browser. There is no server to send it to.
No account, no tracking
Nothing to sign up for. Your work is kept in this browser for a day, then dropped.

- Find the Personal Data Before You Send ItThe disclosure that causes trouble is almost never the one on page one. A pass for email addresses, card numbers and national IDs takes a minute and catches most of it.
