Privacy

For supported workflows, files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to SnapTools servers.

Overview

SnapTools PDFEdit is a lightweight browser-based PDF editor. Sign, add text and dates, place checkmarks, white out content, and export — without routing files through desktop software. Your PDF is processed locally in this browser tab until you download the result.

Guest: signature and check tools with a small overlay limit. Free: text, date, initials, check, and whiteout. Pro: saved signatures, higher overlay limits, no footer watermark, and larger uploads.

How it works

Step 1

Open your PDF

Choose a file — it loads in your browser with PDF.js.

Step 2

Mark it up

Add signatures, text, dates, checks, or whiteout — then adjust placement.

Step 3

Export

pdf-lib flattens overlays into a new PDF you can download or print.

Use the toolbar to pick a tool, tap or drag on the page, then move or resize overlays before export. Rotate individual pages with the controls beside the page navigator.

Benefits

Works best for contracts, forms, invoices, agreements, and applications when you need a fast pass without installing desktop suites.

Ideal for quick edits, permission slips, and internal mark-ups where a full desktop editor or formal e-sign platform would be heavy handed.

Whiteout covers existing text visually without rewriting embedded PDF content—fast cleanup for scans and shared forms.

Security & privacy

PDFEdit does not implement multi-user signing, audit trails, email delivery, or cryptographic certificates—keep compliance expectations aligned with what the tool does.

Processing stays in your browser tab. Clear downloads from shared computers and review the exported PDF before sending externally.
