How to edit text in a PDF
- Open your PDF. Drop it on the page or choose it from your device. It opens right here; nothing is uploaded.
- Click the text you want to change. Hover to see each block of text outlined, then click it and type.
- Check the font. The panel shows whether we're using the PDF's own font or the closest match.
- Download. Save the edited PDF. Everything else in the file stays exactly as it was.
Questions people ask
Will my edit use the same font as the PDF?
Usually, yes. When the PDF contains the font and every letter you type, we reuse that exact font. PDFs often store only the letters they already use, so if you type a new letter we switch that block to the closest standard font and tell you.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The editor runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device, and closing the tab removes it.
Can I edit a scanned PDF?
Not yet. A scan is a picture of a page, so it has no real text to edit. A scan-to-text tool is on the way.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on normal use.
Why does some text say it can't be edited?
Text that is rotated, or built from separate letters in unusual ways, can't be changed safely yet. You can still cover it and add new text on top.
