Why people look for a Foxit PDF Editor alternative

Foxit PDF Editor is Foxit's application for creating, editing and signing PDF documents, used on desktop computers and online.

  • Any device, nothing to install

    A browser app works the same on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebooks, iPhone, iPad and Android, with no installs or updates to manage on each computer.

  • Editing and e-signatures together

    Many teams want to edit a document and then send it for signature, with an audit trail, in the same subscription.

  • One private library

    Keeping documents, their earlier versions and the people they're shared with in one place, instead of copies spread across computers.

  • A free plan to start

    Trying the tools on real documents for free, without a card, before deciding what to pay for.

When Foxit PDF Editor may suit you better

PDFZyro isn't for everyone. Foxit PDF Editor may be the better choice if:

  • You prefer a desktop application installed on each computer, or need to work fully offline: PDFZyro runs in the browser and needs a connection.
  • Your organization's workflows depend on plug-ins or integrations built for a desktop PDF editor.
  • You need print production or prepress tools, such as preflight checks.
  • You want the app itself in a language other than English: PDFZyro is in English for now.
