Pick what you need

Every tool lives in one screen. Fix text, add a signature, and reorder pages without leaving.

Edit existing text

No erase-and-retype.
Only the characters you change are actually edited.

Many PDF editors erase the whole line and rewrite it in another font, so edits show. PdfMonster replaces only the characters that changed and reuses the original font.

  • Glyphs already in the original font are reused as they are
  • Missing characters use the closest matching font, chosen by measured weight
  • Longer lines are squeezed to fit, and you're warned if one still overflows
Privacy

Contracts and ID copies
never leave your computer

The PDF engine runs inside your browser, so there is no need to send your file anywhere. You can verify it yourself in your browser's Network tab.

  • No upload, storage or viewing — close the tab and it's gone
  • A security policy blocks connections to other servers
  • Big files open fast — there's no upload to wait for

FAQ

Got questions?

Is it really free?

Yes. Every feature, including text editing, is free and needs no account. Running costs may be covered by ads on information pages outside the editor.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Your file is processed only inside this browser. Here is how to verify it yourself.

Can I edit a scanned PDF?

In a scan the text is a picture, so it can't be edited. Annotations, signatures and page organizing still work.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, though text editing is most comfortable on a desktop screen.
