Frequently Asked Questions

Is this PDF editor free?

Yes, the PDF editor is completely free to use. There are no subscriptions, no watermarks, and no limits on the number of edits you can make.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Your PDF is uploaded securely for OCR processing and is automatically deleted from our servers after you download the edited file. We never access or share your document contents.

Can I edit scanned PDFs?

Absolutely. Our OCR engine is specifically designed to detect and make editable the text in scanned documents and image-based PDFs, which most other editors cannot do.

What types of edits can I make?

You can edit any detected word on any page. This includes changing text, fixing typos, updating numbers, and correcting names. The tool works at the word level for precise control.

Does editing change the overall layout of my PDF?

No. Edits are applied in place, meaning the word is replaced in its original position. The rest of the document layout remains unchanged.
