how it works

A finished PDF in three steps

No tutorial needed. Everything stays in your browser, from opening to export.

01

Open a file

Drag and drop a PDF into the menu, or pick one from your files. It loads locally right away, with no upload to a server.

02

Edit

Add text and images, draw, reorder, rotate or delete pages, and sign your document.

03

Export

Save the finished PDF directly. No watermark, no sign-up, no usage limits.

features

More tools than the usual free PDF apps

Everything in one editor, without clicking through paywalls or forced sign-up.

Insert images

Freely position and scale logos, photos, or graphics.

Redact a PDF

Permanently cover confidential parts, flattened into an image when you save.

Sign a PDF

Draw a signature, type it or use a photo of it, then place it anywhere.

Reorder pages

Sort, rotate or delete pages by drag and drop.

Merge PDF files

Combine multiple PDFs into one file, or insert one at any position.

Split a PDF

Select a page range and export it as its own PDF.

Rotate PDF pages

Fix sideways or upside-down scanned pages, one at a time or several together.

Compress a PDF

Shrink image-heavy PDFs drastically, but only when it's actually worth it.

the editor

This is what you get

The mousePDF editor with a document open: page thumbnails on the left, the tool rail beside them, and the page rendered in the middle of the workspace.
The actual editor, not a mock-up. The contract in it was made up for the screenshot. Your documents never reach us, so we could not show you one if we wanted to. See how it is built.
The mousePDF editor before a file is opened: an empty workspace with a drop zone in the middle, a keyboard shortcut list below it, and the tool rail down the left edge.
And this is the first screen: no account, no upload dialog, no waiting room. Drop a PDF onto the empty workspace or pick one from your device, and the tools on the left become live.

privacy

Your files never leave your browser.

Other PDF services upload your document to their servers. mousePDF doesn't: all the editing happens locally on your device – no upload, no storage, no third-party access to your files. The site itself is ad-funded; with your consent, that means cookies are used – your documents aren't affected. 100% free and with no limits.

100% processed in your browser

No upload, no server storage

No sign-up, nothing of yours stored

faq

Frequently asked questions

Is mousePDF really free? +

Yes. Every feature is free to use, with no trial period, no limits and no watermarks. If the tool helps you, we'd be glad of a small voluntary donation when you save.

Are my files uploaded anywhere? +

No. Editing runs entirely in your browser. Your PDFs are never sent to or stored on a server.

Do I need an account or to sign up? +

No. You can start right away: no email, no registration, no login.

What features does the editor offer? +

Add text and images, draw and highlight, sign, reorder, rotate and delete pages, merge PDFs, split a PDF, add a watermark, shrink a PDF, set and remove passwords, convert PDF ⇄ Word and images ⇄ PDF, and export without watermarks. Plenty of features that normally cost money elsewhere.

How do I merge multiple PDF files for free? +

Open a PDF in the editor, choose "Merge PDFs" from the menu, and attach more files, or insert one at a specific page. Runs entirely in your browser, no upload, no limit on the number of files.

How do I compress a PDF file? +

Use the "Compress PDF" feature in the editor. It's especially worthwhile for image-heavy PDFs, though the pages become images in the process.

How do I sign a PDF online? +

With the sign feature, right in your browser: draw a signature with your mouse or finger, type it as text, or use a photo of your own signature, then place it anywhere in the document. No account, no upload.

Does this work on mobile too? +

Yes, mousePDF runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, and smartphone.

What languages is mousePDF available in? +

The interface is available in 41 languages, pre-selected based on your browser language, including German, English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Punjabi, Thai, and many more.
