Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is PDF Editor?

An online PDF editor that works directly in your browser — add text, shapes, highlights, images, QR codes, and freehand drawings without uploading files to any server.

Do my files get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser. Your PDFs never leave your device.

What browsers are supported?

Any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.

Features

Can I highlight text in a PDF?

Yes. Select existing PDF text, draw a rectangular area highlight, or use a freehand marker. Five colors available.

Can I add images to a PDF?

Yes. Insert PNG, JPG, and WebP images, adjust opacity, lock aspect ratio, and remove background.

Can I generate QR codes and barcodes?

Yes. QR codes with dot styles, corner styles, error correction, and embedded logos. Barcodes: Code128, EAN-13, UPC, Code39, ITF-14.

Can I merge PDFs?

Yes. Use "Combine" to insert another PDF at the beginning, end, or after a specific page.

What fonts are available?

Inter, Roboto, Roboto Mono, Open Sans, Source Sans 3, Lato, Montserrat, Helvetica, Times, and Courier.

Does it support undo/redo?

Yes — Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo.

Saving & Exporting

How do I save my work?

Edits auto-save to the browser's local storage. Close the tab and come back later — your document will still be there.

Final vs Editable export?

Final export bakes all annotations into the PDF. Editable export (Pro) preserves edits so you can reopen and keep editing.

Can I export only certain pages?

Yes. Bookmark pages you need, then export only bookmarked pages or exclude them.

Free vs Pro

What's included in the free plan?

All editing tools, all object types, final PDF export, and unlimited use. No watermarks.

What does Pro add?

Editable export — save your work in a format that can be reopened and edited again later.

How much does Pro cost?

$4.99/month, $29/year (52% savings), or $39 one-time lifetime purchase.

Do I need to sign in?

Only for Pro features. The editor itself works without an account.

Privacy & Troubleshooting

What data do you collect?

Only your Google account email and subscription status (for Pro). No PDF content, no edit history, no analytics on your documents.

Where are my PDFs stored?

In your browser's local storage. Nothing is sent to external servers.

I lost my edits after clearing browser data.

Edits are stored locally in the browser. Clearing site data removes saved documents. Use export to keep a copy.

Stop losing your edits.
