About Create PDF

Create PDF lets you build a PDF from scratch — start with a blank A4/Letter/Legal canvas, or import an existing PDF to edit. Add text overlays, images, and blank pages, drag to reposition, reorder pages, and download the finished document. Everything runs in your browser using pdf-lib (WASM PDF authoring / editing) — nothing is ever uploaded.

What is Create PDF best used for?

  • Build a fresh PDF invoice, contract, or worksheet from scratch.
  • Combine an existing PDF with new pages, images, or text overlays.
  • Rearrange PDF pages for a presentation without buying a paid editor.
  • Redact / sanitize a PDF by replacing sensitive sections with text overlays.

Frequently asked questions

How does Create PDF work under the hood?

Create PDF is powered by pdf-lib, a mature MIT-licensed PDF library compiled to WebAssembly. When you drop a PDF, it's parsed in-browser using pdf-lib's structured document model — no server round-trip, no upload, no telemetry. The output is a fresh PDF written using the ISO 32000-1 spec.

Does Create PDF work with password-protected PDFs?

Create PDF can open encrypted PDFs and edit them if you have permission. If a PDF has an owner password (edit/copy restrictions), pdf-lib respects those flags but our PDF Unlock tool can remove them if you own the file.

What's the largest PDF Create PDF can process?

Create PDF handles PDFs up to about 500 MB smoothly on a modern laptop. Above that, you may hit browser memory limits — the fix is to close other tabs or split the PDF into chunks first.

Does Create PDF preserve form fields, annotations, and bookmarks?

Yes. pdf-lib preserves the PDF's object graph including AcroForm fields, page annotations, and outlines. Some heavily-optimized commercial PDFs (with unusual compression) may need to be re-saved once to normalize before editing.

Can I edit multiple PDFs in a batch?

Create PDF processes one PDF per run to keep memory usage predictable. To batch, keep the tab open and drop PDFs one after another. Because there's no upload step, each run is instant.

Is my PDF stored on Toolspace's servers?

No — Toolspace has no upload endpoint for Create PDF. Your PDF is read into browser memory, processed by pdf-lib, and either downloaded back to your device or discarded when you close the tab.
