Our platform also offers a file converter that supports formats like Word, Excel, JPG, PNG, DWG, and more, making it easy to switch between file types.

Is Lead PDF Editor safe to use?

We follow GDPR rules, which means your data is handled responsibly and only used with your permission.
Your files are encrypted during upload using secure SSL connections, so no one can see what you’re working on.

We use AES encryption, a trusted security standard used by banks and governments around the world.
And yes, we’re verified by Google Safe Browsing, so you won’t run into malware or unsafe downloads here.

So, whether you need to draw on PDF files or extract text from images, your documents stay safe every step of the way.
