Is the PDF editor free?

Yes. You can use every tool for free with a watermark on the output. Subscribers get watermark-free exports and unlimited usage.

Can I edit text in a scanned PDF?

Yes. Run OCR first to recognise the text in your scanned PDF, then edit it like any native PDF.

How do I merge PDFs online?

Open the editor's Merge tool, drag your PDFs in, drag to reorder them, then click Merge to download a single combined PDF.

How do I split a PDF?

Use the Split tool to either extract specific pages (e.g. 1–3, 7) or split the file into separate one-page PDFs.

Can I sign a PDF online?

Yes. Use the Sign tool to draw, type or upload your signature and drop it anywhere on the document. The signed PDF is legally valid as an electronic signature in most jurisdictions.

How do I convert PDF to Word?

Open the Convert tool, choose PDF to Word (.docx), upload your PDF and download the editable Word file. Formatting and images preserved.

Can I redact sensitive information in a PDF?

Yes. The Redact tool permanently blacks out the text and underlying content, not just hides it, so the original data cannot be recovered.

Can I password-protect a PDF?

Yes. Use Protect to set an open password and (optionally) a permissions password that limits printing, copying and editing.

Is my edited PDF private?

Yes. Files are processed over encrypted connections and stored only as long as needed to deliver your edited PDF. We never use your documents to train models.
