How to use PDF Editor
1. Open your PDF in the editor
Click or drag your PDF into the PDF Editor. Most editing runs directly in your browser; advanced tools create a secure temporary session only when you use them.
2. Edit with the toolbar
Click existing text to edit it in place, or add text, images, signatures, highlights, drawings, shapes, stamps, watermarks and page numbers. Advanced tools cover find & replace, form fields, links, redaction and OCR.
3. Adjust anything, any time
Click any element to move, resize, restyle, duplicate or delete it. The History panel lists every edit so you can revisit or remove individual changes.
4. Export and auto-cleanup
Click Export PDF (or press Ctrl+S) to download the edited file. Temporary session data is removed when you close the editor and always auto-deletes within 1 hour.
Privacy note: temporary session files are auto-deleted after 1 hour.
Why we use backend upload for PDF Editor
Read full rationale- We upload only to run advanced operations that browsers alone cannot reliably do: true text replacement, OCR, and permanent redaction/export.
- We chose this approach based on broad user demand for advanced editing features that local-only browser engines cannot consistently deliver.
- The file is kept as a temporary encrypted job for editing and export, not as a permanent document library.
- Jobs auto-delete after 1 hour, which gives enough time to finish edits and download safely.
- The session is removed as soon as you close the editor — and always auto-deletes within 1 hour.
Trust guarantee: same privacy principles, same security standards, and clear disclosure whenever temporary backend processing is used.
