Frequently asked questions

Is my information uploaded?

No. The PDF opens in this browser tab and everything you type stays on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, so your SSN, address and signature never leave your computer or phone.

Is it really free?

Yes. No trial, no subscription, no sign-up and no watermark. You download the finished PDF straight away. (Some “free” PDF fillers charge a small trial fee that turns into a monthly subscription. This one never asks for a card.)

Can I edit text that's already in the PDF?

Not directly. You can cover small mistakes with a white box and type over them, but original text can't be rewritten.

Which languages can I type?

English and other Latin-alphabet languages are added as real text. Other scripts are added as a sharp image of your text so they still appear correctly.
