Terms of use
Last updated: 5 November 2026. These terms are written in English; if they are translated, the English version applies.
The service
EgretPDF is run by Ankita (see the imprint). It provides free tools that work on PDF and office files inside your web browser. You may use them for personal and commercial work. No account is needed. By using the site you accept these terms; if you do not, please do not use it.
Your files and your responsibility
Your files stay on your device and remain yours; we never receive them. You are responsible for having the right to open and change the documents you work on, for the content of what you create, and for keeping copies of your originals. Only remove passwords or restrictions from documents you are entitled to change.
Signatures
- Sign PDF places a picture of your signature (drawn, typed or uploaded) on the page. This is a simple electronic signature: it does not prove who signed or that the document was not changed afterwards.
- Digital signature signs the file with a certificate that you provide. The signature is only as trustworthy as that certificate. It is not a qualified electronic signature under the EU eIDAS Regulation, and we do not check anyone's identity.
Whether a signature is legally valid for a particular purpose depends on the law that applies and on the people you send the document to. Some documents (for example certain contracts, wills or official forms) need a qualified signature, a witness or a handwritten signature. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.
Redaction
Redact PDF turns redacted pages into images and removes the hidden text, metadata, bookmarks and attachments that often repeat it. It can only remove what you mark. Always check the result before you share it, for example by searching it for the words you removed. You are responsible for what you disclose.
No warranty
The tools are free and provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We work hard to make them accurate, but results such as OCR text, conversions, compression, repairs and summaries can be imperfect, and the site may be unavailable at times. Check important documents before you rely on them.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Ankita is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profit or business, arising from use of the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for intent or gross negligence, and nothing affects the rights you have as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.
Acceptable use
Do not use the site to break the law or infringe anyone's rights, do not attempt to disrupt it or overload it with automated requests, and do not copy the site to pass it off as your own or to mislead people.
Software and trademarks
The EgretPDF name, logo and site design belong to Ankita. The site is built on open-source software and fonts, used under their own licences; see open-source licences.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of India. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and may bring a claim there.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date above shows when they last changed. Using the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
