Edit PDF Online

Open a PDF, click any paragraph to change it, add your own text, images and highlights, then download the edited file. It runs entirely in your browser, so your document is never uploaded to a server.

How to use Edit PDF

  1. Open your PDF: drag it onto the page or choose it from your computer. A password protected file asks for its password first.
  2. Click a paragraph to edit it. Change the font, size, colour, alignment and style in the panel on the right.
  3. Use the toolbar to add text, insert an image or highlight an area. Undo and redo any step.
  4. Press Export PDF to download the edited file.

  • Private: the file stays in your browser

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The editor runs in your browser, so the file is opened, edited and saved on your own device. Only when you read a scanned page with OCR does the browser download the OCR engine and its language data, and your page is still not uploaded.
Which fonts does the edited text use?
A PDF keeps its own fonts inside the file, and they cannot be reused for new letters. Edited text is therefore drawn with a standard font (Helvetica, Times or Courier), and Hindi or other special characters with the Noto fonts. The look can differ slightly from the original.
Is the old text removed from the file?
By default the old text is covered with a box, so it can still be selected or copied from the exported file. To remove it for good, tick “Export pages as pictures”: every page is then saved as an image.
Can I edit a scanned PDF?
Yes. A page without text shows a “Read text (OCR)” button. After reading, click a line to edit it. OCR is not perfect, so check the text.
Can I edit a password protected PDF?
Yes, you will be asked for the password. The exported copy has no password and its pages are saved as pictures.
