or click to browse — works with any standard PDF
Most "edit PDF" workflows still mean opening Acrobat, paying a subscription, or uploading sensitive documents to a website you barely trust. Our free Edit PDF tool does the most-requested editing tasks — reorder, rotate, delete pages and add new text — right in your browser, with no install and no upload.
It is not a layout editor. It will not let you change a paragraph that is already part of an image or scan, and it will not redo the typography of a contract. But for the everyday changes people actually need — "drop page 3, rotate page 5, add today's date at the top of page 1, save" — it is faster than anything that requires you to download software.
How to use Edit PDF
- Open the PDF. Drop it into the upload zone or click Select PDF. The editor renders thumbnails of every page so you can see what you are working with.
- Reorder pages by dragging thumbnails. The new order is reflected in the live preview.
- Rotate or delete using the icons that appear when you hover over a thumbnail. Rotation is non-destructive — you can rotate again to undo.
- Add text by clicking the page preview. A draggable text box appears. Type, then drag it to where you want it. Resize the box for longer content; change the font size in the toolbar.
- Preview your changes in the live render. Anything you do is reflected immediately — nothing is committed until you export.
- Click "Download edited PDF". The tool builds a fresh PDF with your changes baked in and saves it to your Downloads folder.
Why use our Edit PDF?
Reorder & delete pages

Fix pages your scanner captured sideways or upside-down. Per-page rotation in 90° steps.
Add text anywhere
Drop a text box, position it, set font size and weight. Perfect for adding a date, name, reference or short note.
Live preview
See exactly what the output PDF will look like before you download. No surprises after export.
Stays on your device
Pages are rendered with PDF.js and rewritten with pdf-lib — locally. Nothing is uploaded.
No signup, no watermark
Use it as often as you like with no account, no daily limit and a clean output file.
Common use cases
- Adding a date and signature line. Drop today's date and your printed name onto a contract before printing to sign.
- Filling in a flat PDF form. Many "PDF forms" are actually just text on a page — add a text box for each answer and download a filled copy.
- Removing internal pages before sending. Strip cover sheets, signature instructions or appendices before forwarding a document externally.
- Fixing a sideways scan. Phone scanners sometimes capture every other page rotated — rotate the wrong ones in 30 seconds.
- Splitting a long PDF. Delete the pages you do not need, save, then repeat to create another subset.
- Redacting a phone number or address. Add a text box with a solid block (or matching colour) on top of the data — for true redaction, also flatten the layer.
