Edit PDF

Change the words in a PDF without starting from scratch. Click existing text to edit it in place, add your own text and images, and make scanned pages editable by recognising their text.

How to edit a PDF

  1. Open your PDF

    Click Choose file and pick the PDF. It opens right in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

  2. Edit the text

    Click text on the page to change it in place, or add new text and images where you need them.

  3. Adjust pages and links

    Insert, duplicate or delete pages, set a page background colour, and change where links point.

  4. Save the PDF

    Click Save PDF to download the edited document.

A free PDF editor that works on the real text

Edit existing text in place

Change a date, fix a typo or update a price directly on the page, instead of covering it with a white box.

Scanned pages too

When a page is only an image, the editor can recognise its text so you can edit it like any other page.

Pages and links

Add, duplicate and delete pages, and edit or add the links in your document while you work.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the text that's already in a PDF?

Yes. Existing text becomes editable in place — click it and type. You can also add new text and images.

Can I edit a scanned PDF?

Yes. When a page is an image with no text layer, the editor offers to recognise its text. Recognition runs in your browser, and the recognised text becomes editable.

Does the editor add a watermark?

No. The PDF you save contains your edits and nothing else.

Can I add or remove pages while editing?

Yes. Insert a blank page, duplicate a page or delete one, from the page list or from the controls above each page.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Edit PDF runs entirely in your browser: the file is opened and processed on your own device and is never sent to our server. More in the privacy policy.

Is Edit PDF free to use?

Yes. Edit PDF is free, with no account to create and no software to install — open the page in a modern browser and start.
