- Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and Chromebook.

Privacy and security
PDF Text Edit runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is loaded into memory, processed with WebAssembly, and the result is offered as a direct download. Nothing is uploaded, cached on a server, or logged.
Because the work is local, you can safely use it on contracts, invoices, medical records and other confidential documents without violating internal data-handling policies.
