Edit Your PDFs Online—The Easy Way

We believe that working with PDFs should be easy and uncomplicated. That includes editing a PDF. That’s why we simplified it and intentionally left away the hefty price tag. Our online PDF Editor lets you make changes to PDF files any way you want—for free, right in your browser, without needing any software.

Easy & Efficient Online PDF Editing

Our PDF Editor isn't just another means to sparsely highlight text in documents or freehand write on them. When we say edit,” we really mean edit.” Your PDF pages become a canvas, much like a Word document, that you can add new text to as well as use tools to highlight, draw, insert shapes and images with. With a Smallpdf Pro account, you can also change existing text in your PDF. An intuitive user interface rounds up the experience to make things simple for you.

PDF Organization at the Click of a Button

The PDF Editor also offers a special mode to organize your file with functions to rearrange, merge, extract, split, and more. Plus, you have direct access to a wide range of converters to export your PDF in formats like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or JPG. You can even compress or flatten your PDF—your document, your way.

Quick to Save, Easy to Share, Open to Everyone

Once you're done making magic and editing your PDF, you can save it to your local drive immediately; no paywall, no registration, no watermarks. We also offer options to store your edited PDF docs with Smallpdf’s cloud storage, no matter the file size, or directly transfer it to your Dropbox or Google Drive storage. If you need to share your PDF with someone, you can create a download link directly from the PDF Editor.
