About editing text in a PDF
Editing existing text in a PDF is genuinely hard, because a PDF stores positioned glyphs rather than editable paragraphs. This tool handles the common case: fixing a small piece of text — a date, a name, a number — in place.
It works by covering the old text and drawing the replacement in a matching font and size, all in your browser. It is not a full word processor and won't reflow surrounding text, so it suits corrections rather than rewriting. For bigger changes, convert to Word, edit there, and export back.

Edit PDF Text — frequently asked questions
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.
