arche.pdf is a free Adobe Acrobat alternative that runs entirely in your browser. Pick a tool below — your files never leave your device.
arche.pdf is a free alternative to Adobe Acrobat and other commercial PDF editors. Unlike those services, all processing happens entirely in your browser — your documents never leave your device at any point. There is no server upload, no API, no credits, and no hidden costs.
The PDF engine uses pdf-lib for modifications (merge, split, rotate, sign, compress, form fields) and Mozilla's pdf.js for fast client-side rendering. All operations run via WebAssembly, so even large PDFs process quickly without uploading.
The result is exported as a clean PDF file — without watermarks, without quality loss, and without requiring an account. You can also export individual pages as PNG or JPG, or convert images back into a PDF.
