Edit a PDF: Add Text, White-out & Highlights
Fill in a form, fix a typo, add a note, or drop in a photo or stamp. Click to add text anywhere on the page, drag to white-out or highlight an area, then download the edited PDF. It all happens in your browser.
How to edit a PDF
- Add text: choose Add text, click on the page, type in the box above the page. Drag the text to fine-tune its position.
- Fix a mistake: drag a White-out box over it, then add the corrected text on top.
- Highlight: drag across a line to mark it. Pick another colour from the bar above the page.
- Add an image: a photo, logo or stamp. Resize it from the blue corner handle.
- Remove an edit: select it and press Delete, or use the Delete button.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the existing text in my PDF?
Not directly. A PDF stores text as positioned glyphs in a specific font, so editing it in place usually breaks the layout. The reliable way, which most PDF editors use behind the scenes, is to cover the old text with White-out and type the new text on top. On a white page the result looks like a normal edit.
How do I fill in a form that isn't fillable?
Choose 'Add text' and click where the answer goes, type in the box that appears, then adjust the size. Repeat for each field and download. This works for scanned application forms too.
Is white-out safe for hiding sensitive information?
White-out hides content visually, but the original text is still in the file underneath and can be copied or extracted. To truly remove sensitive data (like an account number), convert the edited PDF to images with PDF to Image and back to a PDF with Image to PDF, which flattens everything.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. It's a web page: open it, edit, download. Nothing is uploaded and there's no watermark on the result.
Which languages can I type in?
English and other Latin-script languages, Greek and Cyrillic use Noto Sans. Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam are shaped properly (conjuncts, vowel signs and all) with the matching Noto font, so text looks the way it should, even mixed in one line with English and ₹ amounts. Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and other scripts aren't supported yet.
