Edit a PDF directly in your browser
Change supported text, add content, mark up pages, and download a finished copy without installing software or creating an account.
PDFArrow opens valid PDFs in a full browser editor with page thumbnails, zoom, search, text tools, images, drawing, shapes, signatures, and page controls. Unchanged native PDF content remains intact during export; added content is flattened so it displays consistently in standard PDF readers.

Privacy, supported files, and limits
Choosing a file does not upload its contents to PDFArrow. Processing runs in this browser, and the result is downloaded directly to this device.
Works with valid, unencrypted PDFs up to 50 MB and 500 pages. Large documents render progressively, and unchanged native page content is preserved during export. Scanned-image text requires the separate OCR workflow.
Edit PDF questions
Can I edit a PDF online for free?
Yes. Supported editing tools work in the browser without an account, subscription, or PDFArrow watermark.
Can PDFArrow edit existing PDF text?
It can replace supported extracted text overlays while preserving the rest of the page. Complex fonts, unusual encodings, and scanned text may require adding a new text box or using OCR.
Does editing upload my PDF?
Choosing a file does not upload its contents to PDFArrow. Processing runs in this browser, and the result is downloaded directly to this device.
What is the maximum PDF size?
The editor accepts valid, unencrypted PDFs up to 50 MB and 500 pages. Device memory can still affect unusually complex documents.
Will the downloaded PDF have a watermark?
No. PDFArrow does not add a branding watermark to supported exports.
