About editing a PDF

The editor brings the common changes into one place: add text and images, draw and highlight, insert or delete pages, and rotate — a quick way to mark up or fix a document without opening desktop software.

Every edit is applied in your browser and written into a new file when you export. The tools are aimed at annotation and light correction; deep structural editing of the original text is limited by how PDFs store content. Your file is never uploaded.

The editor brings the common changes into one place: add text and images, draw and highlight, insert or delete pages, and rotate. It's aimed at annotation and light correction — deep structural editing of the original text is limited by how PDFs store content (positioned glyphs, not editable paragraphs).

Supported files

Accepts a single PDF. Produces an edited PDF. Images you add accept PNG, JPG and WebP.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Every edit is applied in your browser and written into a new file when you export. Your file is never uploaded.

Common problems

I can't edit a sentence that's already in the PDF
Existing text isn't freely editable — cover it and type a replacement (Edit Text does this for small fixes), or convert to Word for a full rewrite.
My changes vanished
Export/download after editing — the tool doesn't auto-save, and reloading the page clears the working copy.

Edit PDF — frequently asked questions

Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?+

Yes — the Edit Text tool lets you change words already in the document, within the limits of the original fonts. To lay new text on top, use Add Text.

Is there one tool that does everything?+

PDF editing is split into focused tools so each one stays simple. This page points you to the right one for the change you need.

Do I need an account to edit a PDF?+

No. Every editing tool works immediately in your browser, with no sign-up and nothing uploaded.

Is there a free online PDF editor with no upload?+

Yes — this hub links to every editing tool on the site, all of which run entirely in your browser.

Do you upload my files to a server?+

No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.

Is there a file size limit?+

There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
