FAQ & Help
Is PDFMasala really free?
Yes. There are no paid plans, no sign-up and no limit on the number or size of files, beyond what your device can handle.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Files are opened and processed on your own device. See the Privacy Policy for the few cases where the app contacts another site.
How do I edit a PDF?
Drop a PDF on the home page or choose a file. In the editor, use Select, Text, Highlight, Eraser and Whiteout in the top toolbar, and Sign, Draw, Stamps and Image under Advanced Tools. Press Save PDF to download the result.
How do I undo a mistake?
Use the Undo and Redo buttons at the top left of the editor, or Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y. Every edit is also listed under Applied Edits, where it can be removed with its × button.
How do I use the same PDF in another tool?
In the editor, open the "Edit in:" menu at the top left and pick a tool. The same PDF opens there. Save first if you want to keep edits made in the editor.
Why does my text look slightly different in the saved PDF?
Saved text uses the fonts built into the PDF format (Helvetica, Times and Courier). The "Default (System)" font is saved as Helvetica.
A password-protected PDF will not open. What can I do?
Remove the password in the app that created the file, or open it with its password elsewhere and save an unprotected copy, then try again.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. For large files, a desktop browser works best.
