Clear terms for free, private tools.

1. Agreement

These terms govern your use of Online PDF Editor at online-pdfeditor.com, its localized pages, and its installable app (the "service"). By using the service you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. The service

Online PDF Editor provides free tools to organize, optimize, convert, edit, and secure PDF and image files. The tools run in your web browser: files you select are processed on your device and are not uploaded to us. No account is required.

3. Your content and responsibilities

• You keep all rights to the files you process. We claim no ownership of, and have no access to, your documents.
• You are responsible for making sure you have the right to open, modify, convert, sign, or unlock each file you use with the service.
• Keep your own copies of original documents. Because processing happens on your device, we cannot recover a file you did not save.
• Review every output before relying on it, sharing it, or submitting it anywhere important.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the service to:

• break any law, or infringe copyright, privacy, or other rights of others;
• remove protection from documents you are not authorized to access, or forge signatures or documents;
• attempt to disrupt, overload, scrape at scale, or gain unauthorized access to the website or its infrastructure;
• copy, frame, or resell the service in a way that misrepresents it as your own.

5. Tool-specific limitations

Results depend on your file, browser, and device. In particular:

• Repair, OCR, and compression are best-effort. Damaged files may not be fully recoverable, OCR accuracy depends on scan quality, and size reductions vary.
• Sign PDF places a visual signature image. It is not a certificate-based digital signature, and whether it is legally sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the recipient.
• Redact PDF converts redacted pages to images to remove underlying content. Always check the result before sharing.
• Protect and unlock rely on standard PDF encryption. Choose strong passwords; we cannot recover a password you forget.
• Large files are limited by your device's memory and may process slowly or fail on older devices.

6. Third-party services

Optional features such as importing from Google Drive or Dropbox, and the contact form, are provided by third parties under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their availability or practices.

7. Intellectual property

The website's design, text, graphics, and brand belong to us or our licensors. The service is built with open-source libraries that remain subject to their own licenses. You may link to any page, but you may not reproduce the site itself without permission.

8. Availability and changes

The service is provided free of charge and as available. We may add, change, suspend, or remove tools at any time, with or without notice, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, documents, profits, or business, arising from your use of or inability to use the service. Because the service is free, our total liability for any claim is limited to zero, or the lowest amount permitted by law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, and consumers keep any mandatory rights they have where they live.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves. The "Last updated" date shows the latest revision. Continuing to use the service after an update means you accept the revised terms.
