Old text is removed from the file, not just covered up. Scans have no real text, so use the Eraser on them or run OCR first.

Your file stays on your device. No sign-up, no limits.

Open a PDF, click a word and start typing. The old text disappears, the new text keeps the same font, size and colour, and the rest of the line shifts along as it would in Word. Click an empty spot to add new text. There are also Image, Rectangle, Ellipse, Line, Arrow, Pen, Highlight and Eraser tools. The old text is actually removed from the file, not hidden under a white box.

How it works

Click the line you want to change and type. The bar above the page sets the font, size, bold, italic and colour. To shift a line, use Move (the arrows icon); to get rid of it, use Delete (the bin icon). Every change can be undone with Ctrl+Z and redone with Ctrl+Y. On a phone it works the same way: tap the text and type. To change the same word or amount throughout the document at once, use Find and replace.

A scanned document has no real text, just a picture of the page. Drag the Eraser over the old wording and type the new, or run OCR first.

Worked example

Say the rent in a lease goes up from €350 to €400. Click “350”, type “400” and save. Search the new PDF and you’ll only find 400: the old “350” is no longer in the file.

Questions people ask

How do I edit text in a PDF?

Click the text and type, as you would in Word. The new text keeps the original font, size and colour, and the old text is removed from the file. If the document’s font can’t be reused, the closest match is picked: sans serif, serif or monospace.

Does the old text stay underneath?

No. Letters you change or erase are removed from the page content. The exception is text that’s part of an image, such as a scan: there the Eraser paints over it in the background colour. To hide confidential details in a scan, use Redact PDF.

Can I add a signature or a stamp?

Yes. Choose Image to add a PNG or JPG, then drag it into place and resize it from the corner. To draw a signature by hand, use Sign PDF.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is opened, edited and saved in your browser. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
