How to edit a PDF online

  1. Upload the PDF you want to edit.
  2. Click a line to change it, or pick a tool (text, white-out, highlight, draw, image) and click on the page.
  3. Click Save PDF and download the edited document.

A typo in a contract, a date to change on a certificate, an amount to fix on a quote or an address to update: this tool lets you edit the PDF itself, without converting it back to Word.

With “Edit text”, click an existing line and retype it. The old text is really removed from the file (not just hidden underneath) and the new text is written in the same place, in a similar size and colour. You can also add text anywhere, cover an area with white-out, highlight, draw boxes, draw freehand, or insert a picture such as a logo or a stamp.

Editing existing text works on PDFs made by a computer (Word, Excel, invoicing software). In a scanned document each page is a picture: cover the text with white-out and type over it, or run the OCR tool first.

Your file is processed in memory and deleted automatically after 30 minutes. No account needed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I edit a PDF for free on Mac, Windows or my phone?

Open this page in any browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge), upload the PDF, click a word to change it or add text, white-out and shapes, then download. Nothing to install, no Adobe account, and it works the same on a Mac, a PC, an iPhone or Android.

Can I change the existing text in a PDF?

Yes. Pick “Edit text”, click the line and retype it. The old text is removed from the file and replaced by yours.

Will the font be exactly the same?

The new text keeps the size, colour, bold and italic of the original line, in a close standard font. An unusual font may look slightly different.

Can I edit a scanned PDF?

Text in a scan is a picture and can't be retyped. Cover it with white-out and add your text, or make the PDF searchable with the OCR tool first.

Does it work with Arabic text?

Yes, you can add or change text in Arabic, French or English.
