- No sign-up to start
- Nothing is uploaded: your file stays on your device
- Works on iPhone, Android and computer
Free to use. A free account saves your file with a Quick PDF watermark; Pro removes it.
How it works
- Open the PDF
- Choose a password
- Download the locked file
Private by design
Quick PDF runs entirely in your browser. Your PDFs are opened, edited and saved on your own device. They are never sent to a server, so nobody (us included) can see them. It even works offline once loaded.
Questions
Can you recover a forgotten password?
No. We never see your file or your password, so keep it somewhere safe.
