Free Online PDF Editor – Edit PDFs Natively in Your Browser
A PDF Editor that actually works.
ToolCraftr is a free online PDF editor that lets you edit PDFs directly in your browser without installing software. Unlike other PDF text editors that simply overlay text on top of images, ToolCraftr reconstructs the document structure so you can fix typos, swap fonts, and rearrange pages natively.
Who is this PDF editor for?
Developers needing to quickly fix typos in generated documents.
Students editing assignments or annotating research papers.
Professionals updating contracts, invoices, and forms without Adobe Acrobat.
Anyone needing a fast, browser-based PDF editor for quick text modifications.
Capabilities
Everything you need to modify your documents without installing heavy software.
True Text Editing
Click and type directly into existing paragraphs. We handle the font matching and line wrapping automatically.
Page Management
Visual drag-and-drop interface to reorder pages. Rotate landscape pages or delete unnecessary ones with a click.
Shapes & Drawing
Highlight important sections, redact sensitive data with solid boxes, or sketch freely for annotations.
Privacy First
Your files are processed in ephemeral memory. We do not store, read, or share your documents.
Rich Media
Insert logos, signatures, or diagrams. Resize and position them pixel-perfectly on any page.
Font Intelligence
Our backend identifies subset fonts and dynamically fetches full versions from Google Fonts when available.
How it works under the hood
Unlike legacy editors that treat PDFs as flat images, we built a hybrid engine. PDF.js renders the visual layer instantly in your browser for zero-latency scrolling.
When you edit, our Python backend (using PyMuPDF) surgically modifies the internal content streams, ensuring the underlying file structure remains valid and compatible with Adobe Acrobat.
Common Questions
Is my document safe?
Yes. The file processing happens in temporary memory. Once your edited file is generated and sent back to you, the data is completely discarded from our servers.
Why does the font look slightly different?
PDFs often don't contain the full font file. If you use a rare or paid font, we substitute it with the closest matching standard font (like Arial or Roboto) to ensure your text remains editable and readable.
Can I remove the beta watermark?
There are no watermarks. ToolCraftr is a free tool supported by unobtrusive ads, so your exported documents are clean and professional.
What about scanned documents?
Scanned PDFs are images, not text. You can't edit the text directly because there is no text data. However, you can use our drawing tools to cover old text and type new text over it.
