The PDFbat editor with a finished PDF ready to download, with no watermark on the page

The honest version of free

Search for a free PDF editor and you will find plenty that let you do all the work and then add a logo across the page, or ask for a credit card before the download button works. Others are free only for a seven day trial. It is a fair way to run a business, but it wastes your time when you only need to fix one line on a form.

PDFbat is different on the point that matters most: the files you download are yours, clean, with no watermark, on the free plan. You create an account with just a username and password, open a PDF in your browser and edit it. There is nothing to install and no payment details to enter.

Free does have limits, and we state them plainly so you can decide whether they fit. The free plan covers every PDF tool with 10 tool tasks a day, files up to 25 MB, 3 signature envelopes a month, 1 GB of Drive storage, OCR and 200 AI credits a month. Pro costs $4 a month and removes the daily task limit.

What the free plan includes

No watermark, ever

Downloaded PDFs are clean. We do not add our name, a banner or a logo to your pages.

Real text editing

Click existing text and rewrite it, add text, images, shapes, highlights, links and comments.

Sign and fill forms

Draw, type or upload a signature, add dates and checkmarks, and fill form fields.

Every PDF tool

Merge, split, compress, rotate, convert, OCR, redact, protect and more, all on the free plan.

No credit card

Sign up needs only a username and password. You are never switched to a paid plan by surprise.

1 GB Drive included

Every download is saved to your private Drive so you can find it again.

What no watermark means in practice

  • No logo or banner appears on any page of the edited, signed or converted file.
  • You do not need to upgrade just to unlock the download button.
  • Signed documents carry your signature, not ours. The sealed certificate for e signature envelopes is a separate page you choose to keep.
  • You can hit the daily limit, but hitting it never changes what a file looks like. The tool waits until the next day or you move to Pro.

When Pro makes sense

If you edit PDFs every day, send many documents for signature, or work with files over 25 MB, Pro for $4 a month removes the limits. Many people never need it. If you edit a form now and then, the free plan is enough, and you can try it right now at /editor.html.

Frequently asked questions

Is PDFbat really free with no watermark?

Yes. The free plan adds no watermark to any file you download. It has daily and monthly limits, listed on this page and on the pricing page.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Sign up needs only a username and password.

What happens when I use my 10 daily tasks?

You can keep working in the editor and wait until the next day for more tasks, or upgrade to Pro for $4 a month to remove the limit.

Can I edit the existing text, or only add new text?

Both. Click existing text to rewrite it, or add new text anywhere. Scanned pages need OCR first.

No. The free plan does not expire. Pro is optional and billed monthly.

Are my files private?

Files travel over HTTPS and are stored in your private Drive. Nobody else can open them unless you share a link.
