What You Can Edit in EdiPDF

EdiPDF is a browser-based PDF editing tool built for the most common PDF tasks. Here's exactly what it lets you do today.

Add and Edit Text in a PDF

Click on any editable text area in your PDF to modify it. Update wording, fix errors, change dates, or revise contact details directly in the document. You can also add new text boxes to any blank area on the page.

*Works on text-based PDFs where text is selectable. Scanned PDFs containing only images of text require OCR processing first.

Best for: updating documents, drafts, forms, and reports

Type Directly onto Any PDF Page

Need to fill in a form or add a note to an existing document? EdiPDF lets you place a text box anywhere on the PDF page and type directly into it. Position it precisely where you need – over blank form fields, in margins, or in empty spaces.

Best for: filling non-interactive forms, annotations, labelling

Add Images to Your PDF

Paste or insert an image file directly into any page of your PDF. Position it on the canvas alongside your text. This is useful for adding logos to documents you're building, inserting a photo into a report, or pasting in a scanned signature.

Best for: adding logos, photos, or visual elements to pages

Sign Your PDF – Locally, for Free

Add your signature to any PDF without leaving EdiPDF. Draw a freehand signature, type your name in signature style, or paste in an image of your signature. The signing process is entirely local – no third-party server receives your document.

Best for: signing contracts, consent forms, and agreements

Merge, Organise, and Extract Pages

While you're working on a PDF, you can also combine it with another file, remove pages, reorder pages, or extract a section into a new document. All these tools run locally in your browser sandbox.

  • Merge: Combine multiple PDFs
  • Split: Divide a PDF into pages
  • Extract: Save pages as new PDF
  • Organise: Reorder or remove pages

Why EdiPDF

Why Use EdiPDF to Edit PDFs?

Most free online PDF editors transmit your documents to remote cloud servers for processing. EdiPDF is fundamentally different. It processes everything on your device using a client-side architecture.

Our WebAssembly engine runs directly inside your web browser sandbox. This means your PDF never leaves your local CPU, keeping your sensitive legal, HR, medical, and financial documents 100% secure.

  • Your File Never Leaves Your Device Most online PDF editors transmit your document to external servers. EdiPDF uses a local WebAssembly engine running entirely inside your browser. No file is ever uploaded. This makes it ideal for legal documents, medical files, or financial records.
  • No Account, No Watermarks, No Limits EdiPDF has no paywalls or restrictive free tiers. Every feature is 100% free with no daily limits. We do not prompt you to sign up or create an account, and we never add watermark branding to your edited documents.
  • Works in Any Browser, on Any Device EdiPDF is entirely browser-based. It runs seamlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) without requiring any software installations or browser extensions.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions – Editing PDFs with EdiPDF

Everything you need to know about our browser-based client-side PDF editor.

Open EdiPDF in your browser at edipdf.com/edit/. Select your PDF file – it loads directly into your browser's memory without being uploaded to any server. Click on any text area to edit it, or use the text tool to add a new text box anywhere on the page. When you're done, click Download to save your edited PDF directly to your device. No account is needed.
EdiPDF works with text-based PDFs – documents where the text is selectable and searchable. This includes most standard PDFs created from Word, Google Docs, or other document tools. Scanned PDFs (which contain images of text rather than actual text data) are not currently supported for text editing, as they require OCR processing.
Yes. EdiPDF is completely free, and it never adds watermarks to your downloaded files. There is no premium tier required to remove watermarks – what you edit is what you download, clean and watermark-free, every time.
Yes, when done with a client-side tool like EdiPDF. Standard browser-based PDF editors upload your file to a remote server for processing – that's where the privacy risk lies. EdiPDF never uploads files. Your document is processed entirely by your browser using a local WebAssembly engine. The file path and contents remain on your device throughout.
Yes. EdiPDF is a fully browser-based tool and works on iOS and Android devices in Safari, Chrome, and other mobile browsers. No app download is required. You can edit, sign, and download PDFs from your phone exactly as you would on a desktop.
If you can't click to edit text in a PDF, the document is likely a scanned PDF – meaning the pages are images of text rather than actual text data. EdiPDF currently supports editing in text-based PDFs only. You can still add new text boxes on top of any PDF, including scanned ones, using the text overlay tool.
Yes. Because EdiPDF runs entirely in a web browser, it works on Mac, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS – any operating system with a modern browser. There is no software to install, and no compatibility issues between operating systems.
