Edit a PDF online
Write on a PDF the way you would on paper: add text, cover something with white-out, highlight lines, draw freehand, or add boxes, circles and lines. Undo and redo as you go. The editing happens in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.
Everything runs on your device. Nothing you add or type is sent to any server.

What you can do
Fill in a form that has no fillable fields, add a missing date or address, correct a typo by covering it with white-out and typing over it, mark up a draft with a pen, or highlight the lines someone needs to read. Text typed in English is added as real, searchable text. Hindi and other scripts are added as a sharp image of the text so the letters join correctly.
On a phone, drawing tools capture your finger, so switch back to Select when you want to scroll the page.
What this editor does not do
It does not change the text that is already in the PDF. It adds new things on top of the page, like a pen on paper. White-out hides text visually, but the original words are still inside the file and can be copied or found by search. Do not use white-out to hide passwords, account numbers or other secrets; a proper redaction tool is needed for that.
Private and lossless
Your PDF is opened and saved inside your browser and is never sent anywhere. The original pages are kept exactly as they were, so text stays sharp and the file does not lose quality.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the existing text in my PDF?
Not directly. Cover the old words with white-out and type the new text on top. The result looks right, but the old text is still in the file underneath.
Is there an undo?
Yes. Undo and Redo work for every change, including moves and resizes, for up to 100 steps. On a computer you can also press Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. You can draw and highlight with your finger, place text and drag things around. Switch to Select to scroll the page.
Why can't my PDF be opened?
It may be damaged, or protected with a password or editing limits. Remove the protection with Unlock PDF first, then try again.
