An independent, privacy-first PDF editor with one simple deal: edit for free, pay $1 only when you download.
DollarFix PDF is an online PDF editor that runs entirely inside your browser. You can edit the real text of a PDF (not just stick notes on top), add text, sign, redact, whiteout, highlight, fill forms and work with images — then download the finished file for a one-time US$1. There is no subscription, no account, and no watermark. It is also available as a Chrome extension.
Most people don't edit PDFs every day — they need to fix one document, today. The dominant tools answer that need with $10–30/month subscriptions, sign-up walls and credit-card "free trials". We think that's the wrong deal for an occasional job, so we inverted it: the editing is free, and you pay only for the result — $1 when you save your file. If you never download, you never pay.
The editor processes your PDF locally, in your browser. Your document is not uploaded to our servers — which matters when you're editing contracts, medical records or anything personal. This isn't a policy promise; it's how the software is built.
If you need those things regularly, a suite like Adobe Acrobat or Smallpdf may fit better — see our honest comparisons.
DollarFix PDF is built by a small independent team, not a corporation. The editor is powered by PDFium and pdf-lib running client-side, with automatic font downloading for full Unicode — including Cyrillic — text editing.
