Desktop app alongside the web editor
A desktop version runs alongside the browser editor, and desktop license keys are found on the account page.

What users say
Pros
- Edits PDFs directly in the browser with no account and no desktop software to install.
- Creates fillable PDF forms, such as tabletop character sheets, that open for typing.
- Basic PDF tasks finish completely free without surprise paywalls, with upgrade prices and limits displayed clearly upfront.
Cons
- Text edits shift the surrounding lines, so a clean layout takes several attempts.
- Saves are capped per session, and an expired session discards the work in progress.
- Text boxes added to a fillable form do not appear when the file is opened outside Sejda.
- A request to refund a mistaken small purchase turns into a lengthy argument instead of a resolution.
