Why use this

Migrating from PDFfiller

For everyday form-filling: open Fill PDF Form in a browser tab, drop your PDF, and PDFWix detects the form fields automatically. Type your answers, click Save. No account creation, no template setup. For visual signatures: use Sign PDF to draw or type a signature, drag it onto the form, and download. The signature is flattened into the page so the recipient can't move or remove it. Cancel your PDFfiller subscription from your account billing page (Settings → Subscription → Cancel). Export any forms you'd saved as templates as standard PDFs first, since the templates themselves don't survive cancellation. For bulk-send and audit-trail e-signatures, PDFWix doesn't replace PDFfiller — pick a different tool (or stay on PDFfiller) for that specific workflow. Comparing pdfFiller alternatives: the key differences are export paywalls and where your form data goes. PDFWix form filling and signing run in your browser, so tax and HR forms stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions

What is a free pdfFiller alternative?

PDFWix is a free pdfFiller alternative for filling and signing PDF forms: use Fill PDF Form, then Sign PDF, and download — no subscription required to export your file.

How much does pdfFiller cost compared with free alternatives?

pdfFiller pricing is subscription-based after its trial. If you only fill a few forms, free pdfFiller alternatives like PDFWix avoid the recurring pdfFiller cost.

Can PDFWix actually fill an IRS or USCIS form?

Yes — both are AcroForm PDFs and PDFWix's Fill PDF Form detects every field automatically. You'll see the same fillable boxes you'd see in PDFfiller. For older flattened PDFs without form fields, PDFWix lets you click anywhere on the page to type — same experience as PDFfiller's flattened-form mode.

Is PDFWix's signature legally binding?

PDFWix produces a visual signature (typed, drawn, or uploaded), which meets the bar for the US ESIGN Act and most everyday agreements (NDAs, employment offers, contractor invoices). It does not produce the certificate-of-completion + audit-trail bundle that PDFfiller offers — for HIPAA, banking or formal legal…

Does PDFWix store my filled forms?

No. Fill PDF Form runs entirely in your browser tab. Your filled form is downloaded to your device and never reaches our servers. This is the opposite of PDFfiller, which stores every document in your account.

Can I batch-send the same form to multiple people?

Not in PDFWix. Bulk-send is a PDFfiller (or DocuSign) feature aimed at HR and recruiting. PDFWix is built for the individual user filling a single form.

What if I already have a PDFfiller account?

Cancel from Settings → Subscription if the cost no longer makes sense, then bookmark Fill PDF Form for the everyday filling job. Keep PDFfiller if you specifically need its bulk-send or audit-trail features.

Can I edit a PDF like pdfFiller edit PDF?
