Can I edit PDF text without Adobe Acrobat?

Yes. FreeEditPDF is a browser-based editor, so you can edit PDF text without Adobe Acrobat or any installed software.

Is this PDF editor free?

Yes. Editing, saving, and downloading are free. We do not charge, and we do not add watermarks.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no account, no signup, and no login. Just open the editor and work.

Can I edit scanned PDF documents?

Partially. You can add text, highlights, images, and cover content over scanned pages. Editing the original scanned text is not possible without OCR, which we do not do.

Will the original formatting stay the same?

Yes. We preserve the page structure and layout, and text edits reuse the document fonts when they are available.

Is my PDF secure?

Yes. Your files never leave your device. Everything is processed locally in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Can I edit PDFs on my phone?

Yes. The editor includes a dedicated mobile interface for phones and tablets, with touch-friendly controls.

Can I add or remove text from a PDF?

Yes. You can add text boxes and edit existing text. To remove unwanted content, use the cover tool to hide it.

Does this work on Windows, Mac, and Linux?

Yes. FreeEditPDF runs in any modern browser, so it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Can I edit PDFs without downloading software?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser. There is nothing to install.

What file types are supported?

PDF files for editing. You can also insert PNG, JPG, and WebP images into your document.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard file size limit. The practical limit is the memory your browser can use on your device.

Will my edited PDF keep its quality?

Yes. We preserve the original page content and re-encode the output at full quality.

Why can't I edit some PDF text?

Some PDFs, like scans, have no text layer, or the text is drawn as outlines or images. Editing original text needs a real text layer with usable fonts.

Can I use this PDF editor in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari?

Yes. The editor works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on desktop and mobile.

Is my data stored after editing?

No data is stored on any server. If you want, your session can be saved to your own device so you can resume later, and you can clear it anytime.

Can I edit PDFs without changing the font?

Yes. Text edits reuse the document fonts whenever they are available, so the text keeps its original look.

Is this AI-powered PDF editor?

No. We do not use AI. Editing is plain PDF processing that runs locally in your browser.

What is the best way to edit a PDF online?

For privacy, use a client-side editor like FreeEditPDF that keeps your file on your device. Open your PDF, edit, and download, all in the browser.

Can I use FreeEditPDF offline?

Yes. After the first visit loads the app, the service worker caches the editor so you can open and edit files without an internet connection.

Can I annotate, rotate, and organize PDF pages?

Yes. You can highlight and annotate PDF files, rotate individual pages, reorder pages, and delete PDF pages in a single browser window.
