A Free PDF Editor That Keeps Your Files on Your Device
Most online PDF tools upload your document, process it on their servers and send it back. TickPDF was built the other way round. The free PDF editor loads once in your browser, and from then on every change happens on your own computer or phone.
That has three practical results. Your files stay private, because they never travel anywhere. Work is quick, because there is no upload or download to wait for. And you do not need an account, because there is nothing of yours for us to keep.
When you are done, the finished PDF is saved straight to your device, clean and without a watermark.
Private
Files are opened and changed on your device, never on our servers.
Clean downloads
No watermark and no logo on your documents.
Nothing to install
It runs in the browser you already use.
Sign Contracts in the Free PDF Editor
Draw your signature once, place it on every page that needs it and download the signed file. No printing, scanning or account needed.
How TickPDF Compares to Other Free PDF Editor Options
What you usually get from free PDF tools, and what TickPDF does differently.
| TickPDF | Typical free online tool | Desktop software | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where your file goes | Stays on your device | Uploaded to the company's servers | Stays on your device |
| Account needed | No, only for paid plans | Often, to download | Often, to activate |
| Watermark on free downloads | Never | Sometimes | Sometimes, on free trials |
| Install anything | No | No | Yes |
| Works on phones and Chromebooks | Yes | Usually | Rarely |
| Price for everyday editing | Free | Free with limits | Often a subscription |
More Than a Free PDF Editor: Merge and Make PDFs
Merge PDF joins files and photos in the order you choose, and the PDF maker turns a blank page or your phone photos into a new document.
Your Documents Stay Yours
Leases, payslips, medical letters and ID documents are exactly the files people need to change most often. With TickPDF they are opened inside your browser and never sent to us.
We do not keep copies, we do not read your documents and we do not need your email address to let you use the free PDF editor. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
