Lumr PDF

TL;DR: Lumr PDF is the online PDF platform at lumr.com. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install. It has tools to edit, merge (join files), convert, compress (make a file smaller) and sign PDFs. It also has templates (ready-made documents with blanks to fill in), such as a lease or a bill of sale (a paper that records a sale). If you are a business owner, freelancer or student who works with PDFs every week, Lumr fits. It also fits if you need a US lease or bill of sale.

A PDF is a common file type for forms, contracts and reports. Lumr PDF is an online platform for working with them. You can edit, convert, merge and sign PDFs in your browser, with no app to download. This page is about lumr.com, not about other products with a similar name.

Key features of Lumr PDF

• Edit PDF: The editor covers text, images, notes and shapes, and lets you work on one page at a time. Add Image and PDF Filler (for filling in forms) sit beside it.
• Watermark: A watermark is text or a logo stamped on a page, such as “Confidential”. Add Watermark lets you set its position, size and opacity, and apply it to every page or only some.
• Merge, split and organize: Merge PDF joins several PDFs into one file. Split cuts one PDF into several. Extract Pages, Delete Pages, Organize (change the page order) and Rotate are there too.
• Convert: Converting means changing a file from one type to another. You can turn Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG and PNG files into PDFs, and PDFs into those types. The upload box takes PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG and PNG files, and more, up to 100 MB each.
• OCR: OCR (optical character recognition) reads the text in a scanned page so you can search and copy it. The OCR page names more than 50 languages. Blurred, tilted or handwritten scans can lower accuracy.
• Compress: Compressing makes a file smaller, so it is easier to email. Compress PDF shrinks PDFs, and an Image Compressor handles JPG, PNG and WebP.
• Sign PDF: Sign PDF lets you draw, type or upload a signature, place it on the page and add more than one. An e-signature is a signature added on screen instead of on paper. Whether a signature is recognized depends on your document, which country or state’s law applies and how it is used.
• Password Protect and Unlock: Password Protect puts a password on a PDF. Unlock PDF takes a password off one.
• Templates and document creation: A template is a ready-made document with blanks you fill in. Lumr has template pages for a bill of sale (a paper that records a sale) and a lease agreement. It also has one for a power of attorney (a paper that lets someone act for you). The lease agreement has its own pages for 10 US states. The Browse templates card in the app shows 1000+ ready-made forms and documents, and the app has a Generate a document with AI option. Lumr is not a law firm, so review every document before you use it. This is not legal advice.

Coming soon

Three more features are coming soon: invoice creation, document sending and document tracking. Invoice creation means making a bill to send to a customer. Document sending means sending a file to another person. Document tracking means seeing what happened to a document after you sent it.
