Edit PDF

Fill out forms, sign, highlight or black out content — all locally in your browser, no upload.

This page processes your file entirely in your browser. It never leaves your device.

Fill out forms, sign, highlight or black out content — text, checkmarks, boxes, freehand drawings and images are placed on the PDF pages right in your browser and burned in when you save.

How to

  1. 1

    Upload PDF

    Drop the file into the dropzone — pages are rendered in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Place elements

    Pick a tool from the bar: click to insert text and start typing, click to place checkmarks/crosses, drag to draw boxes/highlights/redactions, draw a signature freehand or insert it as an image (PNG/JPG).

  3. 3

    Adjust

    Use the select tool to move, resize or delete elements. Double-click text to edit it again. Undo/redo via the toolbar or Ctrl/Cmd+Z.

  4. 4

    Save

    “Save as PDF” burns all elements into the pages and downloads the result. The original file stays untouched.

Tips

  • Signature: either draw it directly with the pen tool (use your finger on a phone) or insert a photo of your signature as a PNG with transparent background.
  • To edit the existing text of a PDF: use “PDF to Word”, edit in Word, then convert back with “Office to PDF”.

Privacy and limits

Local processing in your browser — no file leaves your device. Existing text cannot be changed directly (PDF is a layout format); new elements are layered on top.

Frequently asked about this tool

Is the redaction secure?▾
No — it only covers the area visually. The original text technically remains in the file and can be recovered, e.g. by copying the text. Do not use it to permanently remove sensitive content.
Can I change or delete existing text?▾
Not directly — PDFs store text as a fixed layout. You can cover text (black out + place new text on top) or convert the file to an editable format via “PDF to Word”.
Is the signature legally valid?▾
An inserted image signature is a simple electronic signature. That is enough for many everyday purposes, but it is not a qualified electronic signature (eIDAS).
