11 Best Tools to Edit PDF Files Online

There are lots of tools to edit PDF files online. You can use one of them if you need to edit PDF documents, yet have no PDF editor installed on your computer. The vast majority of online PDF editors allows you to convert PDF files into other formats, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint to Image. And vice versa.

Some PDF tools, like CleverPDF, also allows you to merge several PDF files into a single file which is very helpful for certain case. Like putting together receipt files of the bank transactions for a monthly report into a single file. Some tools also allows you to do such other things as adding watermark, encrypting a PDF file, splitting a PDF document, adding new text, deleting words or sentences and so on.

Here are 10 of the best tools to edit PDF files online.

1. CleverPDF

CleverPDF is an all-in-one PDF tool which you can use for free. We have reviewed this tool before. You can visit this page to learn more about CleverPDF. At the time of writing, there are 20 tools offered by CleverPDF in total. We love this tool so much because it has a very clean interface. And there is no ads at all. CleverPDF comes with an integration with Dropbox and Google Drive. Registration is not required to use this tool.

2. Smallpdf

The main page of Smallpdf is pretty similar to CleverPDF. The two have a colorful tiled main page. The tools offered by Smallpdf are not much different to CleverPDF. You can also convert PDF files into other formats and vice versa. Also, you can use this tool to merge several PDF files into a single file, protecting a PDF file with a password or add an e-sign. Smallpdf can also be used for free without creating account. However, you have to deal with ads if you stick to your free account.

3. PDFescape

PDFescape is a bit different to two tools above. While CleverPDF and Smallpdf have a focus to help you turn PDF files into editable files, PDFespace allows you to edit a PDF file by adding text, adding an arrow, circle, highlighting certain words or sentences and so on. The way PDFespace works is pretty similar to Adobe Acrobat DC. This tool can be used for free without creating an account, yet you will see ads banner.

4. FoxyUtils

Creating an account is required before being able to use FoxyUtils, yet you can use it for free. You can use FoxyUtils to convert PDF files into editable formats and vice versa. You can also edit a PDF file by adding text, adding image or adding either circle or rectangle shape. Unless you upgrade your account to premium, you might will think twice before using FoxyUtils because the file generated by this tool contains watermark. Another downside, you will see ads banner when working.

However, FoxyUtils has a feature that not all PDF tools have. The feature is Optical Character Recognition (OCR) which is capable of converting a scanned document into editable file (in Word).

8. LightPDF

LightPDF is pretty similar to Sejda above which combines PDF converting tools and PDF editor.

The difference is, LightPDF doesn’t bother you with ads banner when working. By the time this is article is written, LightPDF hasn’t supported cloud storage integration.
