Edit and annotate PDF files online

The PDF Editor lets you add to any PDF: type text, insert pictures and signatures, draw freehand, highlight, underline or strike through text, add boxes, circles, lines and arrows, cover things with white-out and leave sticky-note comments. Then download the edited PDF.

Text overlays, not rewriting

Added text is a new layer on the page, typed in the Roboto font with the size, colour and weight you choose. The words already in the PDF aren’t rewritten. To replace them, cover them with White-out and type over the top. White-out only hides what’s underneath; to remove private information for good, use Redact PDF. Highlights, shapes and drawings stay sharp vectors, and notes become real PDF comments.

Select anything you’ve added to move, resize, recolour, duplicate or delete it. Undo, redo and zoom work as you’d expect, and pages stored sideways are handled correctly.

Privacy and price

Your PDFs are processed by your own browser (using the open-source pdf-lib and PDF.js libraries), so they’re never uploaded to us or anyone else, and nothing is kept after you close the page. Trying the tool is free; each download uses 1 export (one PDF or one ZIP), and downloading the same result again within 24 hours is free. See pricing.

Questions about this tool

Is the PDF Editor free?

Using it and previewing the result are free. Downloading, copying or saving the final result uses 1 export: from £1.00 for 5, or included in a monthly plan. The same result again within 24 hours is free.

Can I change the text that’s already in the PDF?

Not directly: PDFs aren’t made for rewriting text. Cover the old words with White-out and type the new text on top; it looks the same when printed. To remove private text for good, use Redact PDF instead, because white-out only covers it.

Will other people see my notes?

Yes. Notes become real PDF comments, shown as yellow notes in Adobe Reader, Edge, Chrome and other PDF readers.

Which languages can I type?

Text uses the Roboto font, which covers Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters. Arabic, Urdu and other scripts aren’t supported yet.

Is my information uploaded?

No. It works entirely in your browser, so your text and files stay on your device.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install.
