Most "free" online PDF editors upload your document to their servers, where it may be stored, scanned or retained. EditFreePDF is different: there is no upload. The entire editor — rendering, editing, OCR, compression, even AES-256 encryption — runs locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly.
That makes it safe to edit contracts, tax returns, medical records, bank statements and other sensitive documents. Close the tab and nothing remains. You can even load the page once and keep editing with your internet connection turned off.

Never. Your downloaded PDF contains only your document and your edits.
There are no artificial limits. Because processing happens locally, the practical limit is your device's memory — even large, multi-hundred-page PDFs work on a typical laptop.
Yes. The Password tool adds AES-256 encryption to a PDF, or removes the password from a PDF you own the password for — all locally in your browser.
