Sejda alternative
Files Workshop vs Sejda
A Sejda alternative for editing, annotating, filling, watermarking and compressing PDFs — without the 3-tasks-per-hour free limit.
Short answer
Use Files Workshop when you want unlimited free in-browser PDF editing basics and don't need Sejda's advanced text re-editing.
Best audience: Students and freelancers who bump into Sejda's hourly free limits.
Where Files Workshop fits better
- In-browser tools have no hourly task caps, size traps or watermarks — the client-side tools are simply free.
- Annotate, fill forms, watermark, organize pages, redact and flatten all live beside conversion and OCR tools.
- True redaction flattens pages to images so hidden text can't be recovered.
Where Sejda may fit better
- Sejda can edit existing PDF text inline, which is genuinely hard and not something Files Workshop attempts.
- Its paid desktop app is a good fit for heavy, offline PDF editing.
