Edit PDF
Write, draw, highlight and stamp on any PDF page.
Open a PDF and start editing right in the browser – no installer, no plugin. Add paragraphs of text, freehand notes, shapes, images and signatures, then export a fresh PDF that opens cleanly in any reader.
How it works
Four calm steps.
- 01
Drop your file
Drag the PDF you want to edit onto the upload card, or click to pick it from your device. You can also paste a link to a file hosted online.
- 02
Pick a tool from the toolbar
Choose text, shapes, freehand, highlighter, image or signature. Everything you add lives on its own layer, so you can move or delete it later.
- 03
Preview before you commit
Check the outcome in the browser first. Reorder, remove, or re-run with different settings – nothing is final until you press download.
- 04
Download the result
Save the edited PDF to your device, share a temporary link, or send it straight to Google Drive or Dropbox. Files are wiped from our servers within one hour.
Why Edit PDF
Built to be the last edit pdf tool you try.
Text you add is written into the PDF as a proper text object, so it stays searchable and selectable.
Original fonts and pages stay untouched – your edits are drawn on top rather than by re-rendering the file.
Uploads travel over TLS, files are encrypted at rest, and every trace is deleted within 60 minutes. We do not read, index, or train on your documents.
The free tier handles most day-to-day work. You only create an account if you want history, larger files, or batch automation.
