PDF files are one of the most commonly used file formats for sharing documents. While you can view PDF files using one of the PDF reader apps, some users need the flexibility to edit the files and annotate them. If you’re looking for free PDF editors for Windows 10, read on to find out the app that offers the most features without any charges.

There are a lot of PDF editors that offer an extensive set of features at a premium cost. However, spending money on a PDF editor isn’t often worth it if you’re a casual user whose regular workflow doesn’t involve editing PDF files everyday. Hence, we’ve picked two PDF editors that you can use on your Windows 10 machine for free. With all that said, let’s get started.

  • PDF Editor app for Windows 10
  • Cloud-based PDF Editor for Windows 10 and other platforms

Free PDF Editor app for Windows 10

Of all the free PDF editors I’ve used, the one that managed to stand out is Sejda PDF Desktop. With Sejda PDF Desktop, you can edit PDF files of size up to 50MB. This translates to 200 pages in the file. It is worth noting that the free plan offers a maximum of 3 tasks per day. Given that this is a free PDF editing app, I do feel this is a fair limitation. Apart from PDF editing, you can compress PDF files, use OCR, add passwords, grayscale, crop, or watermark the PDF file.

Once you’ve selected the PDF file, it will open in editing mode within Sejda. You can now edit or modify the contents, add links, forms, images, shapes, signatures, and perform annotation. You also have the option to use the find and replace function in case you’re looking to replace multiple instances of a word in the document. After editing, click on the Save button to save all the changes.

Cloud-based PDF Editor for Windows 10 and other platforms

If you’re looking for a cloud-based solution for editing PDF files, you could try out Sejda’s online PDF editor (visit website). Files you upload to Sejda automatically gets deleted after 2 hours. You can pick PDF files saved on cloud storage providers like Dropbox or Google Drive too. As far as features are concerned, you can add text, change the original text in PDF, add images to PDF, fill out PDF forms, hide information, and more. Like its desktop counterpart, the free service allows you to edit documents up to 200 pages or 50 Mb and three tasks per hour.
