The PDF editor that's actually free.

Fix this line its hella ai and sucks

Version 0.1.0 · free, no catch

Free and on-device.

letter.pdf - edited
the document's own font

Everyone says free. Then the asterisk shows up.

You go to edit one PDF and hit a wall. Turns out the free part was just opening it. The usual catches:

×

Free to open, paid to edit

Viewing and the odd comment are free. Changing the actual text is behind a monthly subscription.

×

A watermark on your file

Your export gets stamped with their logo until you upgrade to a paid plan.

×

A few files a day

Then a daily limit, a countdown, and a checkout page.

Uploaded to their server

The editing happens in their cloud, so your document leaves your machine to do it.

Here, free means free.

  • No subscription and no trial that quietly ends.
  • No account or credit card to download and use it.
  • No watermark on anything you save.
  • No cap on pages or file size.
  • Nothing uploaded. Your PDF stays on your computer.
  • The source is public on GitHub. Read every line.

It actually edits PDFs.

Not a viewer with a comment tool bolted on. A real editor that changes what is on the page.

Edit text in place

Click any line and retype it. The replacement is set in the document's own font, so the page still looks like the original, not a patch.

Fix scanned PDFs

Built-in OCR turns a flat scan into real text you can select, search, and edit.

Add, move, resize, delete

Drop a new text box anywhere, drag boxes to reposition, resize them, or remove them outright.

Annotate and sign

Highlight, mark up, and drop a signature where it belongs.

Work with pages

Reorder, rotate, split, and merge pages without leaving the app.

Edit a PDF in the next two minutes.

Download it, make an account, open a PDF, click a line of text. That is the whole setup.
