Complete Guide: Free Fill Out PDF in Your Browser

01

Upload Your PDF Form

Go to the JustFill editor and upload your PDF. It can be a scanned document, a flat PDF, or an interactive AcroForm — JustFill handles them all. Your file is rendered in the browser, so nothing is sent to a server until you explicitly process it.

02

Create Fields (Draw or Auto-Detect)

Use the Draw tool to click and drag rectangles over each fillable area. This is completely free and uses zero AI credits. Alternatively, on a paid plan, click "Detect Layout" to let AI find all fields automatically. You can mix both approaches — auto-detect the bulk, then draw any fields the AI missed.

03

Fill In Your Data

Click on any field and type your value. Or paste all your data into the text area and let AI map values to fields automatically. You can also use the microphone button to dictate data by voice — great for long addresses or names.

04

Review and Adjust

Every field is editable. Drag to reposition, resize handles to adjust dimensions, or click to edit the value. Fields are color-coded by confidence so you can quickly spot anything that needs attention.

05

Download Your Filled PDF

Click "Download Filled PDF" to get your completed document. The original formatting, fonts, and layout are preserved. No watermarks are added — even on the free plan.

06

Save as Template (Optional)

If you fill the same form type regularly (tax forms, invoices, contracts), save the field layout as a template. Next time, just upload the new PDF, paste your data, and download — fields are pre-positioned from your template.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. JustFill runs entirely in your web browser. There is nothing to download or install. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices.
Yes. Unlike most PDF editors that require interactive form fields (AcroForms), JustFill works with any PDF — including scanned paper forms. You draw fields visually on top of the scanned image.
The free plan lets you upload PDFs, draw fields manually, type values, and download filled documents — no watermarks, no limits. AI-powered auto-detection of fields uses credits available on paid plans, but manual filling is always free.
Absolutely. Save your field layout as a template, then reuse it for every new copy of the form. You only need to set up fields once — after that, filling is instant.
JustFill works with PDF files. You can upload any .pdf document, including multi-page files. The output is always a standard PDF that works in any viewer.
