Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Sejda is a browser-based and desktop PDF editing tool used across legal, education, real estate, finance, healthcare, and government teams. Legal and compliance teams benefit most, given how often they extract pages from lengthy filings. Users value quick edits without recreating files; concerns centers on free-tier limits and slower Arabic OCR.

Our Verdict

Sejda suits individuals and small teams handling occasional PDF tasks, not organizations needing an enterprise document platform. Its reasonably-priced week pass makes entry affordable, though costs can add up for regular use. We recommend it for freelancers, small offices, and administrative teams with straightforward PDF needs, not for regulated organizations with strict accessibility requirements.

Sejda Features

PDF Editor

The PDF Editor lets users modify existing PDF document. It doesn’t have to be converted into another file type first. Text can be added, deleted, or changed, while images, links, shapes, and annotations can be placed directly on the page. The editor also includes options for highlighting text, adding comments, drawing on a document, and whitening out selected content. Users can then download the revised PDF when the changes are complete.

OCR

Sejda’s OCR tool helps convert scanned documents and image-based PDFs into searchable text. Users can upload a scanned PDF, select the language of the document, and process the file to make its text searchable. The tool can also extract recognized text into a plain text file. This is useful when the original PDF contains pages that cannot otherwise be searched or copied as text.

Merge PDFs

This Sejda feature brings multiple PDF files and images together into a single PDF. Users can upload their files, preview the pages, and change their order before merging them. Individual pages can also be removed or rotated during the preparation stage. The resulting file can then be downloaded as one consolidated document.

PDF To Word Conversion

Using this feature, users can convert PDF documents into editable Word files. A PDF file can be uploaded from the compute device or can be selected from supported cloud storage services. The resulting DOC file can then be opened and edited in a word-processing application.

See How It Works
Split PDF

This tool separates a larger document into smaller PDF files based on how the user wants the pages divided. Sejda provides options to split documents by specific page ranges, every set number of pages, bookmarks, or file size. Users can also extract selected pages from a document when they only need certain sections rather than the entire file.

“Complete solution!”

Pros

It is a really complete PDF editor with a ton of useful features all in one software. As a high school student, I've been using it for a long time and I can't recommend it enough. My favorite part is that you can use it completely online without needing to download anything. It's super quick and works across all kinds of devices and operating systems.

Cons

Like I said, it's a really complete software. Even though some features can be a bit tricky to use, nothing about it makes editing PDFs complicated.
