About Edit PDF
Edit a PDF in your browser: type text anywhere on a page, highlight passages, draw with a pen, and white out anything you want covered. Move, resize and restyle every edit before you apply it, then download the edited PDF. Nothing is uploaded.
Small changes without the big software
Most PDF edits are small: add a missing date, tick a box, correct a wrong number, mark the clauses that matter, sign off a page with a note. Buying a full PDF suite for that is overkill, and uploading a contract to a random website to do it is a bad trade. This editor covers the everyday cases directly on the page — type text anywhere, highlight in yellow, green or pink, draw with a pen in three widths, and white out anything you want covered — and it runs entirely in your browser.
Every edit stays adjustable until you apply it. Tap an edit to select it, drag it to move it, pull its corner to resize it, change its colour or size, or delete it. Undo and redo work as you'd expect, and the page strip shows which pages you've changed.
What you see is what gets written
Text is shown at the exact size in points it will have in the PDF, in the same font and line spacing, so a note that fits on screen fits on the page. Highlights are drawn with a multiply blend, so the text underneath stays crisp instead of being tinted over. White-outs are solid white. Pen strokes keep their width in points, so they look the same at any zoom. Pages that were rotated in the file are handled correctly: what you place at the top of the page as you see it lands at the top when printed.
The edits are added as ordinary page content, so the result opens in any viewer — Acrobat, Chrome, Preview, a phone — without special support, and the rest of the document is left exactly as it was.
When another tool fits better
To hide something for good rather than cover it, use Redact PDF, which flattens the area so the underlying content is removed. To sign with a drawn or typed signature placed the same way on several pages, Sign PDF is quicker. For forms with real interactive fields, PDF Forms fills them and keeps them as fields. And to rewrite whole paragraphs, PDF to Word gives you an editable document to work in.
Questions
Everything runs in your browser. How we keep files private
Can I change the existing text in the PDF?
Not in place — a PDF stores text as positioned shapes, not editable paragraphs, so rewriting it reliably needs the original document. You can white out a word or line and type the correction over it, which is how most PDF editors handle it too. To change a lot of text, convert the file with PDF to Word, edit there, and save it back as a PDF.
Is white-out the same as redaction?
No. White-out paints a white box over the area, so it's hidden in normal viewing but the text underneath is still in the file and can be found by copying or searching. To remove something for good, use Redact PDF, which flattens the area so the content no longer exists.
Can I fill in a form with this?
Yes, for forms that are just printed boxes: use the Text tool to type into each field. If the PDF has real interactive fields, PDF Forms fills them properly and keeps them as fields.
Which characters can the text tool write?
The text is written with the built-in Helvetica font, which covers English and Western European letters, digits and common symbols. ₹ is written as Rs., and other scripts, such as Hindi, can't be drawn yet; you'll see a note before you apply.
Is my document uploaded?
No. The page is displayed, your edits are drawn and the new PDF is written entirely inside your browser. Contracts, forms and IDs never leave your device.
