How to Edit PDFs for Free — Rotate, Reorder, Watermark & More

Many people assume PDFs can't be edited, but in reality, a wide range of edits can be done for free right in your browser. This article covers the most common PDF editing tasks and how to do them.

1. Rotate Pages

Scanned documents that ended up sideways, or phone-captured PDFs that are upside down — these issues are easily fixed with the PDF Rotate Tool. It supports 90-, 180-, and 270-degree rotation, and you can rotate specific pages individually.

2. Reorder Pages

Ever scanned multiple documents only to find the pages out of order? The Page Reorder Tool lets you drag & drop to rearrange pages intuitively. You can verify each page by its thumbnail, so mistakes are easy to avoid.

3. Delete Unwanted Pages

Blank pages or unwanted ad pages sometimes sneak into PDFs. The Page Delete Tool lets you select and remove them with a single click.

4. Add Watermarks

Need to stamp "CONFIDENTIAL" on internal documents or mark a draft with "DRAFT"? The Watermark Tool lets you add text or image watermarks across all pages of a PDF at once.

5. Merge Multiple PDFs

Want to combine separately created documents into one PDF? The PDF Merge Tool makes it easy — and you can freely reorder files by dragging.
