Change the words.
Keep the look.
Edit the real text of any PDF, in its own font when the file has it. Arabic included, and your file stays on your device while you edit.
No PDF at hand?
Made for the PDFs that are hard to edit
How it works
Drop it on the page or pick it from your files: a contract, an invoice, course notes, a scan from your phone.
The rent is due on the first of each month.
The cursor lands where you click. Your words appear in the document's own font while you type, when the PDF contains it.
You get a standard PDF, searchable and selectable, with your changes in place.
Same font
Many editors type a change in a standard font. GenPDF writes with the font the document already uses when the PDF contains it, at the same size, colour and spacing, and says before you save when it has to use another. Paragraphs re-wrap and stay justified.
Private by design
GenPDF edits text inside your browser with PDFium, the PDF engine built into Chrome. The PDF you edit is not uploaded to us: only a page with no text can be sent, as an image to be read, and only after you agree.
Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone, in the browser you already have.
Open, change and download without signing up or leaving an email.
A page with no text (a scan or a photo) is sent as an image to be read only after you agree; converting an office file sends that file. Both are deleted as soon as the work is done.
Your account holds your plan, not your files. Everything we hold about you downloads in one click.

GenPDF is a free, browser-based PDF editor that changes the text already in a PDF, in the document's own font when the file contains it, with full Arabic support. Editing never uploads the file; scanned pages are read on our server only after you agree. It works in six languages, on a computer or a phone.
Yes, with no account and no watermark. Opening and editing are free; on the free plan, what you download is counted each day: 3 edited PDFs, 3 signed PDFs, 2 Word exports (up to 20 pages each) and 10 downloads from the other tools (merge, split, compress and the rest). What runs on our server has a daily allowance too: 5 scanned pages read and 3 office files converted (up to 10 MB each). Pro or a 7-day pass has no limit on downloads, and reads 100 pages and converts 30 files (up to 25 MB) a day. Asking others to sign is counted by the month: 3 requests on the free plan, 50 with Pro or a 7-day pass. The count starts again at 00:00 UTC. Pro and the 7-day pass are on the pricing page.
Not to edit it: the editor runs in your browser, and signing, filling, marking up, redacting and adding a password happen there too. Our server is used only when you want it: to read a page with no text (a scan or a photo), the editor asks before it sends the page's image; an office file you convert is sent to be converted; and if your browser can't run the editor's engine, the editor asks before it sends the PDF. Each is deleted as soon as the work is done.
Not unless you ask others to sign. Editing, signing and the other tools never keep your file: it stays where you keep it. A signature request is the exception: the PDF is stored on our server encrypted. By default the key is only with you and the signers, so we cannot read it; if you choose to let us email the signers' links, we hold the key until the request ends and could technically open the document until then. It is deleted when the request ends or 30 days after everyone has signed. Your account holds your plan and how you sign in, and you can download all of it, or delete it, yourself.
Yes. Draw, type or upload your signature and place it; type into a form's fields and tick its boxes; add stamps, highlights, shapes and links that every PDF reader shows.
Yes. GenPDF removes the words, pictures and drawings under each box from the file itself, then reads the file back to check nothing is left. A black box drawn over text only hides it.
When the font is inside the PDF, which is most of the time, GenPDF writes with it. When it isn't, GenPDF picks the closest match and tells you which one.
Yes. GenPDF reads the text on the page, then you edit it like any other line. A scan holds no font to reuse, so your words use a standard font at the size and colour of the scan. Reading happens on our server: 5 pages a day on the free plan, 100 with Pro or a pass.
Yes. Letters stay joined, words stay in order and numbers stay left to right, in the document's own font when the PDF contains its letters. More on editing Arabic in a PDF.
No. GenPDF runs in the browser of a computer or a phone (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari): nothing to install, and no account to open, edit and download a PDF.
Yes, with an account and a confirmed email address. Choose File, then Request signatures, add one to five signers and send. Your PDF is encrypted in your browser: our server keeps only the encrypted copy, and by default the key stays in the links you pass to the signers, so we cannot read it. You can instead let GenPDF email each signer their link: our server then holds the key until the request ends, and could technically open the document until then. Signers need no account; they sign in their browser, and the finished PDF gets an audit page with the times and fingerprints. It is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified one.
