The free PDF editor that respects your privacy

PDFEditly is a fast, free and secure way to edit PDF documents online without installing any software. Whether you need to fix a typo, fill out a form, sign a contract, redact sensitive information or add your company logo, you can do it in seconds — directly in your web browser. Because everything runs locally on your device, your files are never uploaded to a server, so your private and confidential documents stay private.

Unlike many "free" PDF tools, PDFEditly does not add watermarks, does not force you to sign up, and does not lock features behind a paywall. You get a genuinely complete editor: change existing text with automatic font matching, add new paragraphs, insert images and signatures, draw and highlight, whiteout mistakes, and manage pages — then download a clean PDF that opens perfectly in Adobe Acrobat, Google Chrome, Preview, and every other PDF reader.

Works on every device

The editor is fully responsive and touch-friendly, so it works just as well on an Android phone or iPhone as it does on a Windows PC, Mac or Chromebook. There is nothing to download and nothing to update — just open the page and start editing.

Frequently asked questions

Is this PDF editor really free?

Yes — PDFEditly is completely free with no signup, no watermark and no page limits.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All editing happens locally inside your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?

Yes. Select the Edit Text tool and click on any text. The editor detects the original font, size and color so your changes match the document. Note that PDFs with unusual embedded fonts may fall back to the closest standard font.

What is the difference between "Download" and "Flatten"?

Download keeps your edits as real, selectable PDF objects (smaller file). Flatten renders each page as a high-resolution image for pixel-perfect output — ideal for rotated pages or complex layouts.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, the editor is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.

Which browsers are supported?

The latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are all supported.
