All PDF Tools
A free online PDF editor that keeps your files private
LovePDFEditor is a free set of PDF tools that runs entirely in your web browser. You can add text to a PDF, sign it, merge or split files, compress them, rotate pages, add a watermark or cover sensitive details, all without installing software or creating an account.
Your files never leave your device
Most online PDF editors upload your document to their servers before they can change it. LovePDFEditor works differently: the PDF is opened and edited inside your browser using open-source libraries (PDF.js from Mozilla and pdf-lib), and the finished file is saved straight back to your device. That makes it a good fit for contracts, bank statements, ID scans and other documents you would rather not upload anywhere.
An alternative to desktop PDF software
Desktop editors such as Adobe Acrobat are powerful, but they usually need a paid subscription and a large download. If you only need to fill in a form, sign a letter, join two scans or shrink a file for email, a browser-based tool covers the job in seconds. For heavier work, such as rewriting existing text or running OCR on scanned pages, a full desktop editor is still the better choice.
What you can do
- Edit: add text in the font, size and colour you choose, and drag it into place.
- Merge and split: combine several PDFs into one, or extract just the pages you need.
- Compress: remove unused data to make a PDF smaller and easier to email.
- Sign: draw, type or upload your signature and place it on any page.
- Redact, watermark and rotate: cover sensitive details with solid boxes, stamp text such as DRAFT across every page, or turn sideways pages the right way up.
How to use it
Choose a tool above, drop in your PDF and make your changes. When you are done, export the file and it is saved to your device. There is no sign-up, no watermark added to your file and no daily limit.

Do I need to install anything?
No installation needed. Works directly in your browser.
Is there a file size or page limit?
There are no set limits on file size or number of pages. Files are processed on your device, so very large PDFs take longer and depend on its memory.
Does Google have a pdf editor?
Google Drive and Google Chrome have built-in PDF viewers and allow very basic text highlights or form filling, but Google does not offer a full-fledged PDF editor. For tasks like splitting, merging or compressing PDFs, you need a dedicated tool such as LovePDFEditor.
What is the best pdf editor?
It depends on the job. For adding text, signing, merging, splitting, compressing or rotating PDFs without paying or creating an account, a free browser-based tool like LovePDFEditor is usually enough, and it keeps your files on your device. If you need to rewrite existing text, run OCR on scans or fill complex forms, a full desktop editor such as Adobe Acrobat Pro is the more capable choice.
