# Edit PDF Online

No installer, no account, no plugin. The editor is a web page — open it, drop in your PDF, and start working.

Online tools usually mean uploading your document to someone else's computer, waiting, and downloading the result. This one is online in the sense that you reach it with a URL, but the work happens in your browser: the PDF is read, rendered and rewritten by JavaScript running in this tab. Nothing is transmitted, so there is no queue, no file-size cap imposed by an upload limit, and no copy of your document sitting in a temporary folder on a server somewhere. It also means the editor keeps working if your connection drops mid-session. Because there is nothing to install, it runs the same on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS, and on a work laptop where you cannot install software. All the editing tools are here: change existing text, add text boxes, draw, highlight, insert images and signatures, and reorder or rotate pages before exporting.

## How it works

1. **Open your PDF** — Drop in a file — it's read in your browser, never uploaded
2. **Make your changes** — Edit text, annotate, sign, and rearrange pages
3. **Export** — Download the result, with a password if you want one

## Use cases

- **Working on a locked-down laptop**: Edit PDFs where IT policy blocks installing desktop software
- **Editing on a Chromebook**: A full editor on a device with no desktop PDF application
- **One-off edits**: Fix a document without installing anything you will use once
- **Handling confidential files**: Edit contracts and records without them touching a third-party server

## Tips

- **It works offline**: Once the page has loaded, editing continues even if you lose your connection — nothing needs the network.
- **No upload wait**: Large files open as fast as your disk can read them, because they are never sent anywhere.
- **Use a real keyboard**: The tool shortcuts (V, T, X, P) and ⌘/ command palette make a long editing session much quicker.

## FAQ

### Is my file uploaded?

No. It is read directly from your disk by the browser and never sent anywhere. You can confirm this by watching the network tab while you work.

### Which browsers work?

Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, on desktop or tablet.

### Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log in to.

### Is there a file size limit?

Nothing imposed by an upload. Very large documents are limited only by your device's memory, and the editor warns you before opening one.

### Can I use it offline?

Yes, once the page has loaded. Nothing about editing or exporting requires the network.
