FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure about limits or privacy? Read about file handling or compare plans.

Can I start without an account?

Yes. Open a PDF in the editor without signing in. Each device gets 3 successful standard exports per UTC day, shared by anonymous and signed-in free users. The allowance resets at 00:00 UTC (UTC midnight). Signing in, signing out or switching free accounts does not change it. No signup is needed to return tomorrow. Premium includes unlimited editor exports.

How do I merge several PDFs?

Upload multiple PDFs together or add another PDF to an open workspace. Drag the page thumbnails into the order you want, inspect the pages and export the combined document. Your original files remain separate from the new result.

Can I edit a scanned document?

You can add text and annotations over a scan in the editor. A scan without a text layer has no existing text to retype. OCR tools remain under output-quality review and are not currently recommended as a reason to buy Pro.

Does compression always make a file smaller?

No. Results depend on the images and compression already in the source. Choose a preset that suits your intended use, compare the exported size and check small text and pictures before replacing a higher-quality copy.

Is a drawn signature a certificate signature?

No. A drawn or typed signature places a visible mark on the page. Certificate signing is a separate Premium workflow that uses a P12 or PFX certificate. Whether a reader trusts that certificate depends on its certificate chain.

How do I continue editing later?

Reopen available work from file history using the same anonymous session or signed-in account. Keep a downloaded copy for your records. Deleting a job or reaching its retention limit means you should not rely on that workspace for long-term storage. Premium jobs offer retention settings of 1, 7 or 30 days, or Delete now.

Less friction between you and a finished document.
