When to use this tool
Editing a PDF is handy for filling in a form that has no fillable fields, adding a note or correction, highlighting key lines, or covering up private details before you share a document. Because it runs on your device, even sensitive files stay private. To change text that is already in the PDF, convert it to Word first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I edit a PDF for free?
Upload your PDF, choose a tool (add text, highlight, white-out, black-out or draw), place it on the page, and click Apply & Download. It is free, with no sign-up, and nothing is uploaded.
Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?
This tool adds new text and marks on top of the page. To change words that are already in the document, convert the PDF to Word, edit the text there, then convert it back to PDF.
How do I hide or redact information in a PDF?
Use the black-out (or white-out) box to cover the content, then download. For sensitive documents, remember that a visual cover-up is not the same as removing the underlying text.
Is my PDF uploaded when I edit it?
No. All editing happens in your browser, so your PDF and everything in it never leave your device.
Can I add text to a PDF that has no form fields?
Yes. Choose the Text tool, click anywhere on the page, and type - you can place text on any PDF, whether or not it has fillable fields.
