FreeTools
Files processed locally in your browser

Visual PDF Editor

Add text, images, shapes, whiteout, highlights, and links — then download a new PDF.

Server-assisted editor: your PDF is uploaded to a temporary session (max 12MB, 25 pages), edited here, then downloaded. The file is deleted after export or within 30 minutes.

Drop a PDF to open the visual editor

Heavy processing stays on the server to spare your device memory

How to use this tool

  1. Upload your PDF to start a temporary editing session.
  2. Use the toolbar to add text, shapes, images, or annotations; reorder/rotate pages as needed.
  3. Click Apply & download — the server writes your edits and deletes the upload.

A Sejda-style editor, privacy-aware

Unlike one-click tools (merge, compress), the visual editor is an interactive workspace. Previews render in your browser; the final PDF is assembled on the server so your device is not overloaded. Need something simpler? Try Watermark, Rotate, or Merge.

Fill & sign, form fields, and OCR are planned for a later version.

Why use FreeTools?

Unlike many online utilities, FreeTools processes your files in the browser using modern Web APIs and WASM libraries. That means faster results on your machine, no waiting for uploads, and a clear privacy story: we never see your documents or photos. No account is required — open the page, drop a file, download the result.

FAQ

Are my PDFs stored on your servers?+

Only temporarily. Uploads live in a short-lived session (about 30 minutes) and are deleted immediately after you download the edited file, or when the session expires.

Why upload instead of editing fully in the browser?+

The visual editor’s apply/export step is memory-heavy. Processing on the server keeps large library work and final PDF assembly off your device.

Can I edit existing text in the PDF?+

Yes — use Edit text to click detected text runs. We cover the old area (whiteout) and draw your replacement, which works across most PDF producers.

What are the limits?+

Free tier: about 12MB per file and 25 pages per document.
