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.
