What is PDFgear?

PDFgear is a free PDF editor that combines document editing and conversion tools with an AI assistant for working with PDF content. Users can chat with documents, ask questions to find relevant information, and generate summaries. Its PDF Copilot adds an assistant-based way to interact with PDFs alongside conventional editing controls.

The editor supports changes to text, images, shapes, links, signatures, and fillable form fields. Annotation tools include highlights, underlines, comments, stamps, and text boxes. Users can also merge, split, compress, and organize documents, or convert between PDF and formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TXT, and images. Batch conversion is available, while OCR extracts text from scanned documents and supports more than 30 languages.

PDFgear offers applications for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, plus browser-based tools for quick PDF tasks. The software and online tools are available without charge, and users can perform PDF tasks without signing up. It serves both educational and business document workflows, from reading and marking up files to preparing forms and editing scanned material.
