Why We Exist

Most "free" PDF editors are free to edit, not free to download!

You upload your document, spend five minutes editing it, click download — and hit a paywall. Some charge £10/month. Some lock you in with a trial you forgot to cancel. Some quietly upload your sensitive documents to their servers.

SimplifiedPDF is different. Everything runs in your browser. Your files are never uploaded anywhere. Editing is free. Downloading is free. Always.

You NEVER need an account (unless you want advanced features and file sharing) and you don't need to pay for simple things like adding text or signatures

How It Works

Three steps. No account. No waiting.

1

Step 1: Upload Your PDF

Drop your PDF into the editor.

It opens instantly in your browser.

Nothing is sent to any server.

2

Step 2: Edit & Sign

Add text anywhere on the page.

Draw or upload your signature.

Drag, resize, and position everything exactly where you need it.

3

Step 3: Download

Click download and your edited PDF

saves directly to your device.

That's it. No paywall. No watermark. No signup prompt.

What You Can Do

Everything you need for everyday PDF editing.

Add Text

Click anywhere on a PDF page and start typing. Choose your font, size, and colour. Perfect for filling in forms, adding names, dates, or addresses.

Sign Documents

Draw your signature with your mouse or finger. Save it for reuse across documents. Add, move, resize, or remove signatures at any time.

Manage Your Files

All your edited PDFs are stored locally in your browser — like a private drive on your own device. Access, re-edit, or delete them anytime.

Works Offline

Load the editor once and it works without an internet connection. Your documents and signatures are always available, even on a plane.

Nothing Uploaded, Ever

Your documents never leave your device. No cloud storage. No third-party access. No risk. What you edit is only ever seen by you.

Free to Download

When you're done editing, just click download. No account prompt. No "upgrade to export". No watermark on your files. Free means free.

Privacy By Design

Your documents are none of our business.

When you open a sensitive contract, a medical form, or a legal document in most PDF editors, you're uploading it to a stranger's server. You're trusting their security. Their staff. Their privacy policy buried in 8,000 words of legal text.

SimplifiedPDF works differently. All processing happens inside your own browser, on your own device. When you edit a PDF, the file never moves. It doesn't touch our servers because it never gets sent to them in the first place.

No account means no data to breach. No uploads mean no exposure. Simple.

We built SimplifiedPDF because we got tired of the same bait-and-switch. You search for "free PDF editor", you find one, you do the work, you click download — and suddenly it's $12 a month. That's not free. That's a demo with extra steps. SimplifiedPDF will always let you download your files for free.
