About Free PDF Editor
A self-hosted, privacy-first PDF toolkit: edit, sign, merge, split, compress, convert and OCR — all in the browser. Free PDF Editor is a brand of QEPL Technologies.
How it works
- Upload and preview Pick a file and your browser renders it with PDF.js, exactly as it is, while your changes are previewed live.
- Make your changes Edits are recorded as small vector operations and applied to the original document on the server — so text stays sharp and searchable.
- Download the result The copy on the server is keyed by an unguessable id, is never listed or browsed, and is deleted automatically after 2 hours.
Your files stay yours
- No account and no sign-up — open a tool and start
- Files are keyed by an unguessable id — never listed, never browsed
- Everything is deleted automatically after 2 hours
- OCR recognition runs in your browser
- No watermarks, ever
- No installs — the whole toolkit is the page you are on
Under the hood
This deployment uses a portable pypdf + reportlab engine, and automatically enables PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, LibreOffice and OCR when those components are installed — the toolkit falls back gracefully when they are not.
Who we are
Free PDF Editor is built and operated by QEPL Technologies. It exists for the everyday jobs — a form to sign, a scan to search, a report to shrink — without accounts, installs or surprise bills.
Ready when you are
Open the editor, or browse the whole toolkit — nothing to install.
