Frequently asked questions
Is the PDF editor free?
Yes, the PDF editor is completely free to use. No signup required, no watermarks added to your documents, and no usage limits.
Is my PDF file uploaded to a server?
No. All editing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.
What is the difference between editing and annotating a PDF?
Editing changes the actual text in the PDF — like using a word processor. Annotating just adds notes or comments on top. TryDocsy does true editing.
Can I edit scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs are images, not text. Use the in-page OCR button to recognize the text — once OCR completes, the recognized text becomes editable.
Will my fonts and layout be preserved?
Yes. The editor reuses the document's own embedded fonts when possible, so the layout, line breaks, and spacing match the original.
Is there a file size limit?
The editor accepts PDFs up to 100MB. Larger files work but may be slower because everything is processed in the browser.
