A free PDF editor that never uploads your file

Open a PDF and edit it here, in your browser. The file stays on your computer from start to finish: nothing is sent to a server, so there is nothing to be leaked, kept or read. Edit text, fill and sign forms, redact, rearrange pages and merge documents, then download the result.

Questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The file is opened, edited and written by code running in your browser. Nothing about the document reaches our server: no bytes, no text, no form values. Only your email address, your news preference and a record of each download are stored, and you can delete the account whenever you like.

Is it really free?

Yes. There are no paid tiers, no watermarks and no page limits. Downloading needs a free account with a confirmed email address, which is how the tool pays for itself: it introduces people to Eight Mile, the studio that built it.

Can I edit the existing text, not just add text on top?

Yes. Click any line and rewrite it. The replacement is drawn in the typeface the document embedded whenever that font can render it, on the same baseline and at the same angle, so an edit is usually indistinguishable from the original. Switch to Edit paragraph to rewrite a whole block; it re-wraps inside the original column.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It is a web page, so it runs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on desktop and mobile. Nothing is installed.

Can I open a password-protected PDF?

Yes. Enter the password when asked. It is used in your browser to decrypt the file and is never sent anywhere. You can also set a password on the file you download.

Who makes this?
