Add text anywhere on a page, insert images with drag-and-resize controls, draw rectangles, circles, and lines, highlight important passages, place signatures, stamp review status, white out old content, or sketch freehand notes.

Supported File Types

The PDF Editor accepts standard PDF files. Very large documents depend on your device memory because rendering and export happen locally. For image insertion, PNG, JPEG, and WebP formats are supported. WebP images are converted to PNG during export for PDF reader compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?

This tool adds new content on top of the PDF. To modify existing text, you would need to use the eraser tool to cover the original text and then add new text in its place.

What image formats can I insert?

You can insert PNG, JPEG, and WebP images. They will be embedded directly into the PDF when you download the edited file.

Can I sign and stamp a PDF?

Yes. Use Sign for a typed signature, Draw or Image for a hand signature, and Stamp for common workflow labels such as Approved, Reviewed, Confidential, Draft, Paid, or Void.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard limit. Processing happens in your browser, so it depends on your device's memory. Most devices handle files up to 100MB comfortably.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your documents never leave your device.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The editor is fully responsive with touch support for drawing and a mobile-optimized toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

Can I undo my changes?

Yes. Use Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Y to redo. The full edit history is preserved until you close the editor or download the file.

How do I add shapes with no fill?

Select the Shape tool, then click the "No Fill" button in the properties bar. This will draw only the outline of the shape with the stroke color you have selected.

Does the editor modify the original PDF content?

No. All edits are overlaid on top of the existing PDF content. The original text, images, and formatting remain untouched underneath your additions.

PDF Editor FAQ

How should I use this?

Turn the tool into a clearer decision with inputs, assumptions, result, and next-step checks. Use it as a planning step before you pay, submit, publish, travel, or choose a provider.

PDF edit check

Review flattened edits before download

Upload a PDF locally, add text, images, signatures, highlights, shapes, and drawings, then download a flattened edited copy.

Reviewed 2026

Local-first planning and document workflow. No official submission is performed.

What to check

  • Methodology: render the PDF in-browser, layer new annotations or overlays, then export a modified PDF with the visible changes applied.
  • Verify every page, zoom level, signature, stamp, whiteout, and image placement before relying on the exported file.
  • Use the PDF account gate and document workflow history for downloads where the category gate applies.

Limitations

  • Disclaimer: editor only, not a legal-signature platform, certified redaction tool, archival conversion, or official filing service.
  • Overlay edits may not alter underlying semantic structure the way a dedicated desktop editor can; inspect the output before sending.
  • Privacy note: source PDFs should remain in the browser unless a page explicitly documents server processing.
Review workflow output

Source/freshness note: verify current client, lender, customs, tax, document, or regulator requirements before relying on generated outputs.
