Edit, white out and share PDFs as links that never change
peadf is a free PDF editor that runs entirely in your browser. Click any line and retype it: the original font, colours and layout are kept, and paragraphs re-wrap as you type. White out mistakes, remove text, fill forms, tick boxes, sign, redact for real and edit scanned PDFs with built-in OCR. Nothing is uploaded and there is no watermark. When you're done, share your PDF as a permanent link with a QR code: swap the file anytime and the link and QR never change. Start free at peadf.com.
built peadf because every "free PDF editor" I tried had a catch: a watermark, a forced upload to someone's server, or editing that just meant pasting a text box over the page.
peadf reads the actual text in your PDF. Click a line, retype it, and the original embedded font, colours and layout are kept, with the paragraph re-wrapping like a word processor. It also handles:
🖊️ White-out with a fill matched to the page, so nothing looks patched
📝 Form filling, including flat scanned forms
✅ Ticking checkboxes that other PDF readers recognise as properly checked
🔒 True redaction: content is removed from the file, not hidden behind a box
📄 Scanned documents, with OCR that runs on your device
Nothing is ever uploaded while you edit. The whole editor runs in your browser, so it works for contracts, statements and anything you'd never send to a random website. Open dev tools and watch the network tab if you don't believe me!
When you're done, you can host the PDF at a permanent link with a QR code. Swap the file later and the link never changes, which is handy for menus, price lists and anything printed.
On pricing, since someone always asks: editing and every tool are free with no watermark. Hosted links and downloading edited PDFs are the paid bit, starting with a 99p first week.
