Quire

Free · No upload · No account

Fill in a PDF form online, privately

Open a fillable PDF below and type straight into its fields. Text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons and drop-down lists all work, and the values are saved into the form’s own fields when you save a copy. The form stays on your device the whole time.

If the PDF has no fillable fields, for example a scanned paper form, use the Text tool to type on top of the page instead.

Your PDF is processed on this device and never uploaded.

How it works

  1. Open the PDF with the Open button, or drop it on the tool.

  2. Click into a field and type. Press Tab to move to the next field.

  3. Use Sign to add a signature, or Text for anything that has no field.

  4. Click Save a copy. The saved PDF keeps the values in its form fields, so it can be opened and edited again later.

Questions

Plain answers

What this tool does, and what it does not.

Why can’t I type into my form?

The form may not have real form fields, which is common with scanned forms and PDFs exported from word processors. Use the Text tool to place text on the page instead. Quire also does not support XFA forms, an older Adobe format some government forms use.

Will calculated fields add up?

No. Some forms use embedded JavaScript to calculate totals or check entries. PDF scripts are switched off here, so those fields will not update on their own.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The page and its PDF engine (Mozilla’s PDF.js) load from quireapps.com, and after that your file is opened, edited and saved inside your browser tab. The file is never sent to a server, and there is no analytics or tracking on this page. You can check this yourself in your browser’s developer tools under Network.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is free, with no account, no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Files can be up to 100 MB.

Does Quire keep a copy of my file?

No. The document exists only in the open tab. If you close or reload the tab, unsaved edits are gone, so use Save a copy when you are done. The only things the page stores in your browser are your light or dark theme choice and, if you tick “Save signature”, the signatures you chose to reuse.

Which browsers does it work in?

It is tested in Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome and Edge. It is built on PDF.js, which also runs in current Firefox and Safari, but those have had less testing here. In Chrome and Edge, Save a copy lets you pick where the file goes; in other browsers it downloads.
