Free Sejda alternative

The free, private Sejda alternative

themgdev is a free alternative to Sejda with a powerful in-browser PDF editor. Click existing text to edit it in place, add signatures and images, then export — without Sejda's hourly task limits.

Unlike Sejda, which uploads your document to its servers, themgdev edits everything locally in your browser, so your files stay private.
