How the PDF editor works
Most "edit a PDF" tools online take a screenshot of your page and paste a text box on top of it. The download looks right until you try to select the text — it's a picture, not a document. This tool does the real version: it removes the original characters from the page and draws the replacement as genuine text, so what you download is still searchable, selectable, and small.
Open a PDF. The tool reads every line of real text on the page and makes each one clickable.
Click a line to edit it in place, drag to redact an area, or drop in new text and images.
Press Save changes. The edit is written directly into the PDF's own text layer.
Download a file that still has selectable, searchable text — not a flattened image.
Common questions
Will the text I add match the original font exactly?
Closely, not always exactly. PDFs often embed only the specific characters already used on the page, so a brand-new sentence is drawn in the nearest standard font instead of the original one. Weight and size still match; the exact typeface may differ slightly.
Does this work on a scanned document?
A scan has no text layer to click on until you run OCR first, using the OCR scan button in the toolbar. That reads the page and adds real, editable text underneath it.
Is my file kept after I close the tab?
No. Uploaded files are automatically deleted from the server within about 90 minutes, whether or not you come back to them.
Can I move a line of text to a different spot on the page?
Editing a line changes its words, not its position. To reposition content, cover the original with the redact tool and place new text where you want it with the text tool.
