Edits at 0ms latency

Rendering and rewriting happen in your browser. Keystrokes, font extraction, color sampling, undo — all local. Your file briefly transits temporary cloud storage for hosting and auto-deletes after 2 hours.

Browser PDF editor — FAQ

What's a browser PDF editor?+

A PDF editor where the actual editing happens inside your browser tab — using JavaScript and WebAssembly — instead of on a remote server. You get instant edits and your file doesn't have to make a round trip to the cloud each time you change a character.

Does the file ever leave my computer?+

Briefly. We upload it to temporary cloud storage so we can render the first page reliably across devices. The copy is auto-deleted after 2 hours. All keystrokes, font measurements, and layout work happen in your browser — those never get sent anywhere.

Why a browser PDF editor instead of a desktop app?+

No install, no updates, works on locked-down work laptops, works on Chromebooks, works on whatever browser you happen to be in front of. The trade-off is that very large documents (500+ pages) are slower than a native app — for most documents you'll never notice.

Which browsers does it work on?+

Any modern Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc), Firefox, and Safari. We test on the latest two versions of each. Internet Explorer is not supported.
