Getting started
Is PDFEasyEdit really free?
Yes. There are no paid plans, no trials and no watermark. The site is supported by advertising on its informational pages.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Open the editor, choose a file and start. There is nothing to register and nothing is saved between visits.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The editor adapts to small screens and works in current versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
Privacy and files
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is opened and edited inside your browser. We never receive it, so we cannot read, store or lose it.
What happens to my file when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Nothing is stored on a server or in your browser, so download your result before closing the tab.
Can I open password-protected files?
Not yet. Remove the password in the app that created the file first, then open it here.
Editing text
Can I edit the original text of a PDF?
Yes, for ordinary text-based PDFs. Click a line and retype it. The edited line is drawn in a matching standard font.
Why does the new text look slightly different?
The replacement uses the nearest standard font so it displays correctly everywhere. Size and position match the original.
Does it work on scanned documents?
Scans are images, so there is no text to select. Cover the old words with Whiteout and write over them with Add text.
Signatures
Are signatures legally binding?
A signature image is a simple electronic signature. Many everyday agreements accept it, but some documents need a certified digital signature or a witness. Check the requirements for your case.
How do I get a transparent signature?
Sign on white paper, photograph it, choose Sign > Upload and turn on Remove background. The paper becomes transparent and only the ink remains.
Can I sign on several pages?
Yes. Place the signature as many times as you need, on any page.
Pages and images
How do I delete pages?
Press the bin icon on a page thumbnail or the bin button in the toolbar. You can undo it before downloading.
Which image formats can I insert?
PNG and JPG. Convert other formats such as WebP or HEIC first.
Can I merge or split PDFs?
Not at the moment. PDFEasyEdit edits text, signs, annotates, adds images and removes pages.
Support and ads
How is the site funded?
By advertising shown on guides and information pages through Google AdSense. Ads never appear over the editor.
How do I change my cookie choice?
Delete the cookies of this site in your browser settings. The consent banner appears again and you can choose again.
How can I contact you?
Use the contact page. Because your files never reach our servers, we cannot recover or fix a specific document, but we are happy to help with the tool.
