Your file stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Open a PDF and write on it. Click anywhere to type, drag to highlight a sentence, draw with a pen, drop in a picture or a logo, or cover something with a white box and type new text over it.

Each item stays movable until you save: switch to Move, then drag it, resize it or delete it. Text in Western European letters is saved as real PDF text; other scripts are drawn exactly as you see them.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the text that is already in the PDF?

Not directly. PDF stores text as fixed drawings, so the reliable way is to cover it and type the replacement.

Will the fonts match my document?

Added text uses Helvetica, a neutral font close to Arial. Match the size and color by eye.

Can the items be edited again later?

After saving they are part of the page. Keep the original file if you may need to start over.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes. A scan is a picture of a page, and you can write or draw on top of it in the same way.
