# Edit My PDF

> Free browser PDF editor that edits the page's own text in its own font. No uploads, no account.

Edit My PDF is a free PDF editor that runs entirely in your browser. Click any heading, line or paragraph and retype it in the page's own font, size, colour and spacing. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed.

The editor runs entirely in the browser: pdf.js reads and renders the PDF in a web worker, pdf-lib writes the new file, and nothing is uploaded. Every page below has a Markdown version at its address with `.md` appended (the home page at `/index.md`); `llms-full.txt` next to this file holds all of them in one document. Facts about other PDF editors were checked on the dates each page states and link to their sources.

## Engineering blog

- [Exporting edits as real text, in the page's own font — Edit My PDF](https://editmypdf.dev/blog/exporting-real-text.md): How Edit My PDF removes the original strings from a page's content stream, embeds a subset of the font pdf.js decoded, and writes your edit as positioned text rather than a picture.
- [What the editor leaves alone — Edit My PDF](https://editmypdf.dev/blog/what-the-editor-leaves-alone.md): Covered text, tables, Type 3 fonts, form XObjects, phantom spaces and the lines you did not touch: the deliberate limits of editing a PDF in place.
- [Editing a paragraph that mixes bold, italic and regular as one block — Edit My PDF](https://editmypdf.dev/blog/mixed-face-paragraphs.md): A textarea holds one font. A paragraph with a bold lead-in needs a contentEditable editor that owns its DOM, maps every edit into styled spans and keeps the page's line layout.
- [Opening an element exactly as the page prints it — Edit My PDF](https://editmypdf.dev/blog/exactly-as-the-page-prints-it.md): Fitting every run and line to its printed width, keeping a block's own baselines and breaks, measuring the baseline in the browser, and reading colour from the pixels.
- [Nothing leaves your browser: how Edit My PDF is built — Edit My PDF](https://editmypdf.dev/blog/nothing-leaves-your-browser.md): pdf.js in a web worker, pdf-lib for writing, IndexedDB for storage and no server at all. What that architecture buys, what it costs, and how to verify it.
- [Why editing text inside a PDF is hard — Edit My PDF](https://editmypdf.dev/blog/why-editing-pdf-text-is-hard.md): No paragraphs, subset fonts with no space glyph, spacing operators that leak, phantom spaces, mixed faces and browsers that round: the real reasons a click can shift a line.
