What it does

peadf is a free PDF editor that runs entirely in your browser. Click any line and retype it: the original font, colours and layout are kept, and paragraphs re-wrap as you type. White out mistakes, remove text, fill forms, tick boxes, sign, redact for real and edit scanned PDFs with built-in OCR. Nothing is uploaded and there is no watermark. When you're done, share your PDF as a permanent link with a QR code: swap the file anytime and the link and QR never change. Start free at peadf.com.

peadf edits the real text in your PDF with the original fonts and layout kept, fills forms, redacts and signs, then shares the file as one tidy link and QR code. Swap the file anytime without changing the link, and see who is viewing it.

Edit text, fill forms, redact, sign and share without leaving your browser. Tap to choose a PDF. We'll take care of the rest. Drag a PDF anywhere on this page. We'll take care of the rest. Editing happens on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you ask for a link. Three steps, one pod: from file to shareable link before your coffee gets cold. Upload a document, deck, menu or brochure. Or send a design straight from Canva, Figma or Adobe. We host it on a clean link and a crisp QR code you can download for print, posters or business cards. Update the PDF anytime and the same link and QR keep working. Watch the views roll in. Everything you need, nothing you don't. The simple parts stay…from peadf.com

  Free, in-browser PDF editor2025 · breezepdf.com · ▲791

  BreezePDF lets you edit, sign, merge, compress, redact, OCR, fill forms, extract tables, and use 30+ more PDF tools — all in the browser, no sign-up. Files never leave your computer. I built it because when people search Google for common PDF tasks, many of the tools they find upload documents to a server. I wanted an option that keeps files local instead. I posted an earlier version on HN last spring: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43880962 At the time it only supported a small set of features. Over the last 10 months I rebuilt large parts of it and expanded it to…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
