From Open to Edited PDF

Drop a PDF in and every page renders in the editor. Your file is read in your browser and never uploaded.

Pick a tool and click or drag on a page to add text, a shape, a drawing, a highlight, an image or a signature. Use white-out to cover text, then type new wording on top.
Manage pages

What Runs in a Browser, and What Does Not
The editor renders and rewrites the PDF on your device, so your document stays private. That sets a couple of honest limits worth knowing.
| Works well | Where the limits are |
|---|---|
| Adding text, shapes, images and signatures | Editing the original text is done by white-out and retype, not by changing the existing glyphs |
| Filling fields and adding checkmarks | Complex scripted forms may not map every field |
| Reordering, rotating and deleting pages | Very large PDFs can be slow to render page by page |
| Private, on-device processing with no upload | No OCR of scanned text and no cloud effects |
Troubleshooting
Why can't I edit the existing text directly
A PDF stores text as positioned glyphs, not editable paragraphs, so changing it in place is not reliable in a browser. The dependable way is to white out the old text and type new wording on top, which this editor does in one flow.
A page will not render or looks blank
Some PDFs are encrypted or use unusual fonts. Try a copy that is not password protected. Scanned PDFs render as an image, so you can annotate them but there is no selectable text.
My placed item sits slightly off in the export
The editor maps screen positions to PDF points, which is very close but can differ by a hair on rotated pages. Nudge the item and export again if you need it exact.
The export is taking a while
Rendering and rewriting happen on your device, so a long or image-heavy PDF takes real time. Close other heavy tabs so the browser has memory to spare.
