Frequently asked

Does it keep the original text selectable?

Yes. On export we load your original PDF and draw your additions on top - the page is never flattened to an image, so the original text stays selectable and searchable.

What can I add?

Text, boxes, highlights, images and a drawn signature. Move, resize, rotate and delete anything you add. Freehand drawing and straight lines are coming next.

Is it really free?

Yes - editing runs entirely in your browser, no account needed.

Can I edit the existing text?

This adds an editable layer over the page. Changing the words already in a scanned PDF is what Edit scanned PDF (OCR) is for.

How it works

Edit PDF lays an editable layer over each page; on export it draws your additions onto the original file, so the original text stays selectable rather than flattened to an image.

When to use it. Use it to fill a form, sign a document, redact with a box, or annotate a page.

Limits. Adds an overlay (text, shapes, images, signature); editing the words already in a scanned page is what Edit scanned PDF is for.
