A PDF editor and toolkit that does the real work

Scroll through the real app. Every screen below is a screenshot of PDFbat with sample data.

  • Images, shapes, highlights, links and comments
  • True redaction and a pages panel

Edit PDF online, free, and edit the real text

Most online PDF editors place a new text box over the page and leave the old words underneath. PDFbat removes the original glyphs from the page content and writes your new text in the same position and size, so the file still reads, searches and copies like the original. It works in every writing system, including right to left scripts.

Around the editor sit more than thirty PDF tools: compress a PDF without losing quality, merge and split files, rotate and crop pages, add page numbers and watermarks, protect a PDF with a password or unlock one you own. Scanned documents become searchable with OCR in 45 languages.

E-signatures with a sealed audit trail

Send a PDF for signature with signing order, reminders, expiry dates and identity checks. When everyone has signed, PDFbat seals the document with a digital signature and appends a certificate of completion with every event, so any later change can be detected.

PDFbat questions

Is PDFbat free?

Yes. The free plan includes every PDF tool, 10 tool tasks a day, files up to 25 MB, 3 signature envelopes a month, your 5 GB Drive shared with every Bats app and your share of the AI wallet. There is no watermark on your files.

What does Pro unlock in PDFbat?

Unlimited tool tasks and envelopes, files up to 100 MB and a 100 GB Drive shared by every Bats app. The same Pro plan also unlocks every other Bats app.

Can I edit a scanned PDF?

A scan is a picture of text. Run OCR first to add a real text layer, then edit, search and copy it like any other PDF.

Are PDFbat e-signatures legally binding?

Electronic signatures are recognised for most business documents under laws such as ESIGN in the United States and eIDAS in the European Union. PDFbat records an audit trail and seals the final PDF. Some documents, like certain wills, have special rules.

Do signers need an account?

No. Signers open a private link from their email and sign in the browser. Only the sender needs an account.
