Good to know

This tool adds new items on top of the page. It cannot change or delete the original text inside a PDF. Covering text with a white box hides it visually but does not remove it. For permanent removal use Redact PDF.

How to use the Edit PDF

  1. Step 1: Drop a PDF onto the upload box, or tap it to choose a file.

  2. Step 2: Choose what to add: Text, Rectangle or Image. Set the text, font, size and colour, or choose an image.

  3. Step 3: Click the page to place text or an image, or drag on the page to draw a rectangle. Move between pages with Previous and Next.

  4. Step 4: Check the Added items list, remove anything you do not want, then press Save edited PDF and Download PDF.

What this editor does and does not do

Everything you add is placed on top of the existing page. The tool does not reflow paragraphs or edit the original text, which is how full desktop editors work with a lot more machinery. This approach is ideal for forms, notes, stamps and small corrections, and it never risks scrambling the original layout.

Text uses the standard PDF fonts, which support Western letters, numbers and common symbols. Characters from other scripts and emoji cannot be drawn and will be reported before saving.

Covering text is not removing it

A white rectangle over text hides it from view, but the text is still inside the file and can be found by selecting or searching. If you need information gone for good, such as an account number, use Redact PDF, which flattens the page so the hidden text no longer exists.

Example use cases

  • Fill in forms

    Type answers onto a flat PDF form that has no fillable fields.

  • Add notes

    Put comments or corrections on a document.

  • Place a logo or stamp

    Add a company logo or an approval stamp image.

  • Cover small mistakes

    Cover a wrong figure with a white box and type the correction over it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the existing text in my PDF?

No. This tool adds new text, shapes and images on top. It cannot rewrite the original text.

Can I fill in a PDF form?

Yes, by typing text where the answers go. The text becomes part of the page rather than a fillable field.

Does a white box delete the text underneath?

No, it only hides it. Use Redact PDF to remove information permanently.

Can I use Hindi or other scripts?

Not currently. The standard PDF fonts support Western characters only.

Are my files uploaded?

No. All editing happens in your browser.
