Edit PDF text and add content online

Use it when you have a PDF but not the Word file it came from, and something on the page needs to change. Everything runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.

• Edit existing text, line by line: fix a typo, a date, a name or an amount. You can also change the size, color, bold and italic.
• Add text anywhere, in a sans, serif or mono font, with size, color, bold, italic and alignment.
• Insert images (PNG or JPG), such as a logo or a stamp.
• Add a signature: draw it, type it, or upload a photo of it.
• Shapes: rectangle, ellipse, line and arrow, with separate stroke and fill colors.
• Freehand pen for quick marks and circles.
• Highlighter, saved as a real PDF highlight annotation, so other readers show it as a highlight.
• Sticky notes, saved as real PDF comments the recipient can open in their own reader.
• Whiteout to cover part of a page with a white box.

Everything you add can be moved and resized. There is undo and redo, zoom, and continuous scrolling with page thumbnails for jumping around long documents.

A PDF is not a word processor file. Text is stored as positioned runs and lines, so editing works one line at a time: click a line, and it opens in an edit box.

When you save, the editor checks whether every character you typed exists in the font embedded in the PDF. If it does, your new text is written in that original font, so it blends in. PDFs often embed only the characters they actually use, so a new letter may be missing. In that case the editor picks a similar font (DejaVu Sans, Serif or Mono) and matches it to the width of the original line.

The old text on that line is removed from the page, not just painted over, and the new text takes its place.

• Edits are per line. If you make a line longer, the rest of the paragraph does not reflow. This is for corrections, not for rewriting whole sections. For bigger changes, convert the file with PDF to Word first.
• Vertical or rotated text can't be edited. Cover it with whiteout and add new text on top instead.
• Scanned pages contain a picture of text, not text. Run OCR first to get editable text.
• Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first with Remove PDF password, if you have the right to do so.
• Whiteout only hides. The text under a white box stays in the file and can still be copied. To truly remove sensitive information, use Redact PDF.
• Digitally signed PDFs: any edit invalidates an existing certificate signature.

You are about to send a 3-page invoice and notice that the due date on page 2 says 11/30/2026 instead of 12/15/2026, and the client's company name is misspelled.

1. Drop the PDF here and click the page 2 thumbnail.
2. Choose Edit existing text (shortcut: E). Editable lines are outlined.
3. Click the line with the due date, retype it and press Enter.
4. Fix the company name the same way.
5. If you want to flag the change, add a sticky note next to it.
6. Click Download edited PDF, open the new file and check both lines.

The whole thing takes a minute or two, with no printing and no hunting for the original document.

On a phone or tablet, tap to select, drag to move, and drag a corner to resize.

Large files are read in chunks, so even a document with hundreds of pages stays usable. You always download a new file, and the original stays as it was.
