Compare with original

We show you the original. Because it matches.

Toggle between original and edited at any point. Pixel-perfect rendering means there's no visible difference — until you change something.

Other editors don't offer this. They know what you'd see.

Toggle anytime during editing

No export needed. No second tab.

Pixel-perfect match

AI that actually edits

No hands. No hunting.

Most AI tools read your PDF and answer questions about it. Acropea's AI edits it. Type what needs to change — it finds every instance and updates the document. No opening blocks. No manual work.

What's the point of AI that can summarize your document but can't change a word in it?

Scanned documents

Scanned PDFs. Finally editable.

Most editors give up on scanned documents. Acropea turns them into a fully editable text layer — same editor, same flow. No separate OCR service, no copy-paste into Word.

Smallpdf, iLovePDF, Sejda — none of them do this in the browser.

Scanned pages

Paper through a scanner — fully editable text layer.

Invoices and receipts

Photos with perspective and uneven lighting — detected and extracted.

Low resolution documents

Small fonts, dense tables, mixed sizes — handled correctly.

White text on colored backgrounds

Inverted layouts that break every other tool.

Upload anything

Not just PDF.

Have a photo of a document? A scanned TIFF? A receipt saved as JPEG? Upload it directly — Acropea converts it to an editable document automatically. No conversion tools. No extra steps.

Just drag it in.
