Frequently asked questions
Is Edit PDF free to use?
Yes. Edit PDF is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Edit PDF upload your PDF to a server?
No. Edit PDF processes your PDF inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Edit PDF.
Do I need to install anything to use Edit PDF?
No installation is needed. Edit PDF runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Edit PDF on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Edit PDF interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your PDF when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Edit PDF keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
