How to Edit, Sign and Merge PDFs Online for Free
Fill forms, add your signature, merge documents and unlock PDFs — all free and fully private, because the files never leave your browser. A real DocuSign alternative.
PDFs are where documents go to become un-editable. Someone sends you a contract to sign, a form to fill, or three files that should really be one — and suddenly you're hunting for software or handing a confidential document to a website you've never heard of.
Everything you can do without uploading a thing
- Add text to fill out forms and applications.
- Draw or type a signature and drop it anywhere — eSign in seconds.
- Insert images like a stamp, logo or ID photo.
- Merge several PDFs into one clean document.
- Unlock PDFs so you can work with them.
Sign a PDF in under a minute
Open the PDF Editor & eSign, load your document, draw your signature, place it, and download. It's built with pdf-lib and pdf.js and runs entirely client-side — so that contract with your address and bank details never touches a server.

PDFs are usually the sensitive stuff: offer letters, NDAs, tax forms, IDs. "Free online PDF editors" that upload your file are the last place those should go. On-device editing keeps them yours.
The document toolkit that works together
- 1Got a Word file or image instead of a PDF? Convert it first with the Universal File Converter.
- 2Edit, sign or merge it in the PDF Editor & eSign.
- 3Need to remove a stray stamp or watermark from a scanned page? Use the Watermark Remover.
DocuSign is great — until you just need a signature
For enterprise signing workflows, dedicated platforms make sense. For everyday document editing, Kickva provides a private browser-based editor connected to your account workspace.
