Can I edit existing text in the PDF, or only add new text?

This adds new text positioned on top of the page — for correcting or removing existing text, you'd need the original source file or a full PDF editing suite.

Can I choose the font and size of the added text?

Yes, you can adjust size and basic styling to match the surrounding document as closely as possible.

Is this a good way to fill out a form that isn't a fillable PDF?

Yes, that's a common use — positioning text directly where a form field would be on a flat, non-interactive PDF.

Does Edit PDF Text upload my files to a server?

No. Edit PDF Text runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

Adds new text on top of the page — this doesn't edit existing text already in the PDF, since PDFs don't store editable text runs.

About this tool

A PDF's text isn't meant to be edited after export — there's no word-processor-style editing built into how the format works, which is exactly why even a one-word correction usually means going back to the original source file, if you still have it. This tool lets you add and position new text directly onto a PDF page, which is the practical way to annotate, correct or fill in a detail on a PDF when you don't have (or can't easily re-export) the original document it came from.
