No upload, no account, no waiting. ForgePDF processes everything locally in your browser — your files never leave your device. Not to our servers, not to anyone.
Six features, all running locally. Sign, merge, extract and convert are always free.
ForgePDF detects every text block in your PDF and lets you click directly on any line to edit it. The original text is cleanly replaced — font, size, colour, position and rotation are preserved automatically. A whiteout is applied underneath.
When your PDF has interactive form fields (AcroForms), ForgePDF detects them automatically — just click and type. For PDFs without native fields, use free placement to drop a text block exactly where you need it, drag it, resize it and style it independently.
Create your signature once and place it anywhere on the page. Three methods: draw on the pad with mouse or stylus, type your name in a handwritten font, or upload an image. Drag to position, resize, export. No server involved at any step.
Combine any number of PDF files into a single document. Drag to reorder pages with thumbnail previews. Your current edits, annotations and signatures are automatically included in the merged result — all processed locally.
Select specific pages using thumbnail previews and export them as a standalone PDF. Perfect for pulling out a contract clause, a single invoice or a report section from a large document.
Export PDF pages as JPG, PNG, DOCX (Word), TXT, HTML or CSV. Batch-export all pages with a single click. No online converter, no upload — everything is rendered locally inside your browser.
Sign, merge, extract and convert are always free. Text editing and form filling use a one-time credit system.
Credits never expire · No auto-renewal · No account required
Unlike most PDF tools that upload your files to a remote server, ForgePDF processes everything locally using open-source WebAssembly libraries. There is no upload pipeline. It is architecturally impossible for us to access your documents. GDPR compliance is a structural consequence — not a policy checkbox.
PDF parsing, rendering, editing, merging and conversion all run inside your browser tab via PDF.js and pdf-lib. File bytes never reach our servers — not partially, not temporarily.
The only data we store is an anonymous browser ID for credit tracking. No name, no email, no file name, no IP stored, no document content — ever.
Signing, merging, extracting and converting work with zero internet connection once the extension is installed. No cloud dependency whatsoever.
Minimal permissions — no access to browsing history or other tabs. Open DevTools → Network while editing: you will see zero file upload requests.
That's it. One lightweight check. Your PDF never moves.
Everything you need to know.
Stop uploading your PDFs to random websites. Edit them locally, privately, instantly.
Or use the web editor — no installation required.
