Free PDF Editor Online

Edit PDF files directly in your browser with the LegalTemplates PDF Editor. Upload any PDF up to 25 MB and start editing immediately — no software to install, no account required. Built for professionals who work with contracts, leases, and legal forms, our free online PDF editor gives you a complete set of tools to update text, fill form fields, annotate pages, convert file formats, and manage multi-page documents from a single workspace.

Everything you can do in our PDF editor

Edit Text and Fill Forms

Add and edit text anywhere on your PDF. The editor automatically detects fillable form fields so you can tab through and complete them without manually positioning each entry. Use the pointer tool to select, move, and resize content across pages with precision.

Annotate and Mark Up

Review documents with highlights, underlines, freehand drawings, and shapes including rectangles and circles. Insert images, drop comment boxes for notes, and use custom colors to organize your markup. Every annotation tool is built for fast, visual communication on the page.

Redact Sensitive Information

Permanently black out confidential text, account numbers, or personal data before sharing a document. The redaction tool removes content from the page so it cannot be copied, searched, or recovered, helping you meet privacy and compliance requirements.

Convert to Office Formats

Convert any PDF into a Word document (.docx), Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx), or PowerPoint presentation (.pptx). Upload your file, choose the target format, and download the converted document — all within the same editor interface, with no separate tool required.

Compress and Reduce File Size

Reduce your PDF file size for easier emailing, uploading, and storage. The compression tool shows you the original and compressed sizes side by side so you can see exactly how much space you saved before downloading the optimized file.

Merge, Split, and Extract Pages

Combine multiple PDFs into a single file by merging another document at any page position. Split a large PDF into custom page ranges, or extract individual pages and download them together as a ZIP file. Page thumbnails make it easy to see exactly what you are working with.

Protect and Watermark

Set a strong password on your PDF to restrict who can open the downloaded file. Add a text watermark with custom wording or upload your own image watermark and scale it to fit each page — useful for marking drafts, branding client deliverables, or deterring unauthorized distribution.

Share, Email, and Collaborate

Send your edited PDF directly from the editor via email without switching to another application. Save your work at any point, print the updated document, or download the final file with all changes applied so it is ready to share, archive, or submit.

Built for complete PDF workflows

Whether you are finalizing a lease agreement, reviewing a non-disclosure agreement, filling out HR onboarding paperwork, or organizing tax documents, the LegalTemplates PDF Editor handles every stage of the process. Upload your file, make edits and annotations, protect the document with a password or watermark, and export the finished version — all without leaving your browser.

Because the editor runs entirely in the browser, there is nothing to download or install. It works on any desktop computer or laptop with a modern browser. You get full undo and redo support, a page thumbnail panel for navigating long documents, the ability to delete unwanted pages, and one-click save, print, and download. Files up to 25 MB are supported, which covers the vast majority of contracts, forms, and legal documents.

Digital signatures and e-signature workflows

Need to sign a document or collect signatures from others? The Pro plan unlocks digital signature tools that let you draw or type your signature and place it on any page. You can also create signature request workflows to send documents out for signing and track their progress. All other editing, annotation, conversion, and file management tools remain completely free.
