How it works

Three steps. Done in your browser.

Drop your PDF

Drag a PDF onto the editor or click to browse. Rendered locally by a PDFium WebAssembly engine, nothing is transmitted over the network.

Add text and annotations

Select the text tool, click anywhere on the page, and type. Choose font, size, color, bold, and italic from the toolbar.

Save your edited PDF

Click Save PDF. The same engine that rendered the file writes your annotations into it. The file saves directly to your device.

Use cases

When you need to edit a PDF.

From filling forms to annotating contracts, a WebAssembly PDF engine handles tasks that used to require a desktop application.

Filling in PDF forms

When a form is not interactive, the text tool lets you click each field and type your answer, then save a completed copy without printing.

Adding comments to documents

Review a report or draft by placing text notes directly on the PDF. Share the annotated file with colleagues for clear, contextual feedback.

Signing documents without printing

Type your name in a matching font over the signature line. Save and send, no printer, scanner, or Adobe subscription required.

Labelling scanned documents

Add a date, reference number, or category label to a scanned invoice or receipt before filing or sending to accounting.

Annotating contracts

Mark up a contract with clarifying notes on clauses to discuss. All annotations embed cleanly into the output PDF.

No Adobe Acrobat needed

Basic PDF editing tasks like adding text, notes, and signatures used to require Acrobat Pro. This tool does the same job, free, in any modern browser.

How it works under the hood.

When you open a PDF, a PDFium engine compiled to WebAssembly renders each page directly in your browser tab. The engine is served from this site, so the editor runs standalone with no backend of its own.

Everything you add is held as a real PDF annotation object rather than as a separate overlay. When you save, that same engine writes the annotations into the original document bytes and hands the new file to your browser. The result is a standard PDF that opens correctly in any viewer.

No server is involved at any stage. Your document never leaves your device.

Common questions

Questions answered.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is rendered and edited entirely in your browser by a PDFium WebAssembly engine that is served from this site. Your file never leaves your device at any point.
What editing features are available?
You can add text anywhere on any page, highlight, underline, or strike through existing text, draw freehand, and add shapes, images, stamps, and signatures. The toolbar lets you choose font family, size, color, bold, italic, and underline. Select an annotation and press Delete, or use the right-click menu, to remove it.
Will the original PDF content be preserved?
Yes. The original PDF is never re-rendered into an image, your annotations are added on top of it. All original content, fonts, images, and layout remain intact.
Is there a file size or page limit?
No. There is no hard limit. The only ceiling is your device's available memory. Very large or image-heavy PDFs may take a moment to render.
Can I edit existing text in the PDF?
The editor adds new text annotations on top of the existing content. Editing or removing original embedded text is not supported in this version.
What fonts are available?
Helvetica, Courier, Times New Roman, and Symbol are listed in the font dropdown, and you can type any other font name into it. These map to the standard PDF fonts when embedded into the output file.
Do my annotations survive after saving?
Yes. Annotations are written into the PDF itself when you save, not kept as a separate overlay layer. The saved file opens with your text visible in any PDF viewer.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes. The editor runs in any modern browser including Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android. Tap to place text, use the toolbar to style it, and save from the browser.
