Actually edits the text inside a PDF, not just annotations on top.
Most so-called PDF editors let you draw a text box over the page; Sejda re-flows the existing text, so a typo in the middle of a paragraph can be corrected in place. It also handles the usual merge, split, fill, sign and compress work, and offers a desktop build that processes files locally. The free web tier is metered by the hour rather than the day.
Questions
A genuinely usable free tier with paid plans for volume or team features. Free use allows only a few tasks per hour, on documents of roughly 50 MB or 200 pages.
Yes. Sejda PDF sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
