Folio — PDF editor

Edit PDFs without uploading them. Text edits land in the original file with the original font. No watermark.

Folio is a deterministic PDF text editor that runs entirely in your browser. Click the toolbar icon to launch the editor at pdf-editor.online in a new tab — no install, no watermarks on export. What Folio actually does today: • Edits text inside a real PDF. Click a word, type, save. The edit lands in the original file with the original font, size, colour, and position — byte-for-byte identical to the original where the text length matches. We don't convert your PDF to HTML and back; we mutate the PDF object model directly. • Honors the original layout. The page you see after saving is the page the recipient sees, down to the kerning. No reflow surprises. • Undo / redo every edit. Cmd/Ctrl+Z and Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z. • Exports a clean PDF. No watermark, ever. • Optional public share link. Generate a read-only URL for any document, scoped to the file you choose, revocable any time. • Workspace library. Search and organise your uploaded documents. How the editor handles its limits — honestly: • If a replacement is longer than the original text run, we surface a warning instead of silently breaking the layout. You decide whether to shorten, shrink, or accept the overflow. • If the embedded font subset doesn't include a character you typed (a common quirk of PDF font subsetting), we block that specific edit and explain why, rather than corrupt the file. • Scanned PDFs (pages that are images of text, not real text) aren't editable in place. We detect this on upload and tell you up-front. How privacy works: • Your PDF is parsed and modified inside your browser. The file is uploaded to your own authenticated storage only when you choose to save — and only so you can re-open it from another device. The editing itself happens on your machine. • The Chrome extension does not collect, transmit, or store any data of its own. It opens pdf-editor.online in a new tab. That's all. Common use cases that work today: • Fix a typo in a contract or NDA before sending • Correct an amount, date, or name on an invoice • Update a quote or proposal without re-exporting from Word • Touch up a receipt for an expense report Things Folio does NOT do (yet) — so you don't have to guess: • Whiteout / redaction (rectangle-based content removal) • Image, shape, or signature insertion • Highlighting, underlining, or comment annotations • Page reorder, rotate, or delete • Multi-line paragraph rewrap (we edit one text run at a time) These are on the roadmap; track progress at https://pdf-editor.online/.
