Online PDF Editor – Edit PDF Free

Edit PDF files online: change existing text, add text, images, signatures, highlights and whiteout, delete pages — then download. No upload.

How do I edit the text in a PDF online for free?

Open your PDF, choose "Edit text" and click any line: the editor covers the original with its exact background colour and lets you type the new words in the same position, size, colour and weight, using the closest standard font (sans, serif or mono). You can also add text, images, signatures, highlights, shapes and whiteout boxes, delete pages and download the edited PDF.

How to edit a PDF

  1. Choose your PDF and press Open PDF editor.
  2. Pick a tool: Edit text (click existing text), Add text, Whiteout, Highlight, Shape, Draw / Sign or Image.
  3. Drag objects to move them; use the corner handle to resize; change font, size, colour, bold and italic in the bar above the pages.
  4. Press Download PDF. You can keep editing and download again.

Good to know

  • Fonts: PDFs usually contain only the letters they use, so new text is written with the closest standard font — Helvetica/Arial, Times or Courier — at the original size and colour. For Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman and Courier documents the result is identical.
  • Hidden original text: edited text is covered, like in other online editors. Tick Remove hidden original text before downloading to turn edited pages into images so the old words are gone for good (useful for redacting).
  • Scanned PDFs have no real text — use Whiteout plus Add text, or run OCR first.
  • Standard PDF fonts support Latin characters; other scripts are replaced with "?".

Is it safe?

Yes. The whole editor runs in your browser with PDF.js and pdf-lib, so your document is never uploaded to a server.
