Free Online PDF Editor: Edit Existing Text, Images and Pages Locally in Your Browser

You can edit text and images, manipulate pages, fill forms, annotate and protect your PDF. All of this happens on your device.

KeyPDF says no: no signup, no watermark, no file limit, no upload. This means you can use KeyPDF without any hassle.

KeyPDF is a PDF editor that opens your document right in the browser. You can edit the existing text, replace fonts and images, and reorder pages without converting the file or losing its layout. There is nothing to install. Nothing is sent to a server.

Here is how KeyPDF works

Open your PDF

You can drop a PDF into the page or open DOCX, EPUB, Markdown, images and more. You do not need an account to do this.

2

Edit anything

You can click the edit button to rewrite any text you want, move or replace images, reorder and rotate pages, fill forms, highlight and annotate.

3

Save and done

You can download your edited PDF instantly. There is no watermark, no quality loss and your file never left your device.

KeyPDF has everything you need to edit a PDF

Text editing

You can rewrite the text that is already in your PDF with the original fonts preserved.

Image editing

You can move, resize, replace or delete images inside the document or add new ones to your PDF.

Page tools

You can reorder, rotate, delete and merge pages or combine PDFs in KeyPDF.

OCR for scans

If you have a scanned document, KeyPDF recognizes the text so you can edit it like any other PDF.

Annotate & fill

You can highlight, comment, add text boxes and fill in forms in KeyPDF.

Protect your PDF

You can encrypt your PDF with a password before saving.

KeyPDF is 100% local

KeyPDF runs on your device. It does not upload any of your files to a server. When you save, the file is written back to your device, making it faster than any server processing while respecting your privacy. Once the website has loaded you can go offline at any time.

KeyPDF is built from scratch in JavaScript with elements of WebAssembly to make processing faster on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Is KeyPDF really free?

Yes. KeyPDF is free and private. There is no signup, no watermark, no file limit and no locked features, you get the editor the moment the page loads.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. All of your files stay on your computer and are processed entirely on your CPU and GPU. Opening, editing and saving all happen inside your browser, so nothing you work on is ever sent anywhere.

Can I edit the existing text in my PDF, not just add text?

Yes. KeyPDF allows you to edit your text locally: click into a paragraph and rewrite it like in a word processor, with the original fonts, sizes and layout preserved. You can also replace fonts and images or reorder pages in KeyPDF.

What file formats can KeyPDF open?

KeyPDF can open PDF, DOCX, EPUB, Markdown and many other text formats. Anything that is not already a PDF is converted to one on your device when you open it, so you can save it like any other PDF.

Does KeyPDF work offline?

Yes. KeyPDF does not depend on a server, once the website has loaded you can go offline and keep working. The only exception is fonts: if you pick a font from the online catalog it is fetched on demand, everything else runs without a connection.

How is KeyPDF different from online PDF editors?

Most online PDF editors cannot edit the existing text in your document at all, they only let you place new text on top of it. The few that can depend heavily on a server and an ongoing internet connection: your file is uploaded, processed remotely and sent back. KeyPDF edits the text that is already in your PDF, and does it entirely on your device.
