How to Use the PDF Editor in 4 Steps
Most edits take less than a minute, with nothing to install.
Open your PDF
Click Choose PDF file or drag a document onto the PDF editor at the top of this page.

Choose Text, Sign, Highlight, Whiteout or any other tool from the toolbar.

A Different Kind of Online PDF Editor
Most online PDF editors upload your document to their servers, change it there and send it back. PDF Magic works the other way round: the whole PDF editor runs inside your browser tab, and your file never leaves your device.
That makes it fast, because there is no upload or download to wait for, and private, because nobody else ever receives a copy of your file. It also means the PDF editor keeps working on slow connections once the page has loaded.
You do not need an account, and free downloads never carry a watermark or a logo.
No upload
Your files are opened and changed on your own device.
No watermark
Your downloads look like your documents, not like an ad.
No install
A PDF editor in the browser you already have.
