About this tool
Make direct changes to a PDF without converting it to another format first. Add typed text anywhere on a page, draw freehand notes, highlight passages, drop in rectangles, ellipses, and lines to mark up a layout, or stamp in a logo or photo. Move between pages with the page controls, undo a mistake, or clear a page and start again — nothing is final until you export.
How to use it
- Upload the PDF you want to edit.
- Pick a tool from the toolbar: text, pen, highlighter, shapes, or image.
- Click or drag on the page to place your edit, and switch pages as needed.
- Click Save PDF to export your changes into a new file.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit the original text that's already in the PDF?
Not directly — this tool adds new text, drawings, and shapes on top of the page rather than rewriting the PDF's existing text. For most markup, correction, and annotation needs this works well, since the new content becomes a permanent part of the page once exported.
Can I move or resize something after placing it?
Typed text boxes can be dragged to reposition and edited until you export. Shapes, drawing, and images are placed where you draw them — use Undo or the eraser tool if you need to remove one and redo it.
Does each page keep its own edits?
Yes, edits are tracked per page, so moving between pages doesn't affect what you've already added elsewhere in the document.
