A free PDF editor with everything you need
Sign PDFs
Draw, type or upload your signature and place it anywhere. Signatures are saved on your device for next time.
Fill PDF forms
Type into fillable fields, or add text, ticks, crosses and dates to forms that aren’t fillable. Form fields keep working after you download.
Redact for real
Black out names, numbers and addresses. Redacted pages are flattened, so the hidden content is removed from the file, not just covered.
Compress PDFs
Shrink big PDFs by resizing the photos and scans inside them, with a choice of quality. Text stays sharp, and you see how much you saved.
Unlock PDFs
Open a password-protected PDF with its password and save a copy without the password. The text stays real text.
Merge PDFs
Combine several PDFs and photos into one file. Put them in any order, then download the result or keep editing it.
Split PDFs
Split a PDF into single pages, equal parts or custom page ranges like 1-3, 4-8. The parts download together as one ZIP.
Reorder & organise pages
Drag pages into order, rotate, duplicate or delete them, insert blank pages and extract pages into a new file.
Annotate & mark up
Highlight passages, draw freehand, add boxes, arrows, whiteout, page numbers and watermarks.
Password-protect PDFs
Lock your PDF with AES-256 encryption: require a password to open it, or block printing, copying and editing.
Private by design
Your PDFs never leave your device: there are no uploads and no account. Your work is autosaved locally so you can pick up where you left off.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start numbering from a page other than the first?
Yes. Tick “Don’t number the first page”, or set the starting number to anything you like.
Can I add a title or date next to the number?
Yes. Use Headers & footers for text at the top or bottom of every page, with placeholders for the page number, date and title.
Can I change the font or colour?
Yes. Set the size and colour when adding them, or click any number afterwards to restyle it.
Will the numbers be searchable in the PDF?
Yes. They are written as text, not pictures.
