Edit PDF Online

Edit PDF lets you change a PDF in your browser without installing anything. Add text in Helvetica, Times or Courier with any size and colour, place images, draw rectangles, ellipses, lines and arrows, sketch freehand, highlight passages and cover mistakes with white-out. To change existing words, the Edit text tool covers a line and retypes it as a new text box you can edit, and Find and replace does the same across every page. Every item can be moved, resized, restyled, reordered or deleted, and undo and redo cover each step. Links and sticky-note comments become real PDF annotations. The file never leaves your device.

How to use

01

Open your PDF

Drop a PDF of up to 150 MB onto the page. The first page appears at full width. Use the page menu or the arrows to move between pages, and the zoom buttons to get closer.

02

Pick a tool and edit

Choose Add text and click where the words go, or drag with Rectangle, Highlight or White-out. Edit text lets you click an existing line to retype it. Select an item to change its font, colour, thickness or opacity in the side panel.

03

Save and download

Press Save and download PDF. Your edits are written into the original file at the exact spot you placed them, including on rotated pages, and the copy saves with an -edited suffix.

Why Edit PDF Online

What each editing tool does

Every tool adds an item you can select later to move, resize, restyle, reorder or delete. Arrow keys nudge the selected item by one point, or ten with Shift.

Limits worth knowing

Editing existing text works by covering and retyping, not by rewriting the original font data, so the new line uses the closest standard font. On scanned PDFs there is no text to pick, so use White-out and Add text instead.

  • Files up to 150 MB, any number of pages, one page shown at a time.
  • Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.
  • White-out hides content visually; it does not delete it from the file.

Common questions

Can I change the existing text in a PDF with this editor?
Yes, line by line. Pick Edit text and click a line on the page. The tool covers it with a white box and places the same words in a new text box, matched to the original size and the closest standard font. Change the words, then move or restyle the box if needed.
How does find and replace work in the PDF editor?
Type the word to find and its replacement, then press Replace all. Every line containing a match is covered and retyped with the new wording, on every page. It needs a PDF with real text, so it will not find anything in a scanned page that is only a picture.
Which fonts can I use when I add text to a PDF online?
Helvetica, Times and Courier, each in regular, bold, italic and bold italic, plus underline. These are the standard PDF fonts, so the text stays sharp and searchable. Characters outside the Latin set, such as Hindi or Chinese, are placed as a sharp image instead so they still show correctly.
Is white-out the same as redacting a PDF?
No. White-out paints a box over the content, which hides it on screen and in print, but the text underneath is still inside the file and can be copied or extracted. To remove sensitive text for good, use a redaction tool that deletes it.
Can I undo a mistake while editing a PDF here?
Yes. The undo and redo buttons, or Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y, step back and forward through every addition, move, resize, style change and deletion. Nothing is written to the file until you press Save and download, so the original stays untouched.
How do I add a logo or photo to every page of a PDF?
Choose Image and pick a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF. It lands in the middle of the page, where you can drag and resize it. Then press Copy to all pages in the side panel, and each page gets its own copy you can adjust or delete.
Do links and comments I add to a PDF stay clickable?
Yes. The Link tool creates a real link annotation that opens a web address, starts an email or phone call, or jumps to another page in the file. Notes become standard comment annotations with a small icon that readers such as Acrobat open when clicked.
Does the online PDF editor keep my edits on rotated pages in place?
Yes. Items are stored as you see them and mapped back to the page's own coordinates when saving, taking its rotation and crop box into account. Text and images come out upright, exactly where they sat on screen.
Can I use this PDF editor on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The page fits the screen width, and touch works for placing text, drawing, dragging and resizing. The page scrolls normally with the Select tool active, and the other tools take over touch while you draw.
