PDF Editor

Reorder, delete, or add pages, and merge another PDF in. The Compress tab shrinks file size by re-encoding embedded images. Page edits stay entirely in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded (compression runs server-side).

PDF Editor — Pages, Annotations, and Compression in One

Reorder, delete, rotate, and split pages; add text and shape annotations; compress file size — all in one free tool. No signup, partly browser-side and partly via lightweight backend.

Three tabs cover the main editing workflows

**Edit**: Drag-reorder, delete, rotate, split pages — fully browser-side via pdf-lib.

**Annotate**: Add text and callout comments anywhere; drawn on a canvas, rasterized, and embedded into the PDF.

**Compress**: Three levels (low/medium/high) via pikepdf (QPDF backend). Scan-heavy PDFs often shrink by 50%+.

Edit tab in detail

After upload, page thumbnails are shown. Drag-and-drop to reorder; per-page buttons handle delete, rotate, and split. The original PDF is never modified — output is a fresh file.

Compression level guide

**Low**: image quality preserved, ~10-20% size reduction. **Medium**: images re-encoded at moderate quality, ~30-50% reduction. **High**: aggressive image compression and font subset removal, ~50-70% reduction (with visible quality loss).

Use Medium for email attachments, Low for archives, High when print quality isn't needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit the actual PDF text?

Not yet. The annotate tab lets you overlay text on top of the PDF, but in-place text editing is on the roadmap.

What's the file size limit?

Free up to 20 MB, Light up to 100 MB, Premium up to 200 MB. Compression runs server-side, so larger limits apply there.

Does compression hurt quality?

Low is virtually lossless. Medium re-encodes images. High noticeably degrades images. Text remains lossless at all levels.

Can I open password-protected PDFs?

No — please remove the password before uploading. The tool doesn't prompt for passwords.
