Edit the text and content of a PDF
Drop your PDF and click any text to edit it in place: the tool keeps the original font, size and color, removes the old text from the file and writes the new text in the same spot. You can also add text, rectangles, a highlight or an image, then check the preview before you download.

How to edit PDF text without changing the font
A PDF is not a word processor file: each line sits at exact coordinates with a font, a size and a color. This tool reads that information from the file itself.
- Click a line of text: it becomes editable in its exact place, shown in the document's real font.
- Type your fix. Enter confirms the line, Esc cancels, and Undo goes back up to 80 actions.
- Apply: the old text is deleted from the page content (it is not left hidden underneath), then the new text is written with the same font, size and color.
- Check the preview of the final file, then download.
size = height of the text matrix · color = last fill color set before the text
What if a letter is missing from the font?
PDFs often embed only the letters that are actually used (a font "subset"). If you type a letter that is not there, the tool works through these steps:
| Case | What happens |
|---|---|
| Every letter exists in the PDF's font | Same font, reused as is (identical look) |
| A full TrueType font can be recovered | Font rebuilt and embedded, with a message |
| Letter not found | Closest standard font (sans serif, serif, typewriter, bold, italic), with a warning |
The final message tells you exactly what was used, so you never discover a font change afterwards.
Adding text, shapes and images
The tools at the top add items over the page: free text (3 standard fonts), rectangles, a translucent highlighter, PNG or JPG images, and an eraser that covers an area with the background color. Each item moves with the ✥ handle and is removed with ✕. Note that the eraser and rectangles cover what is below without deleting it. To erase sensitive data for good, use the redaction tool.
3 real-life examples
Fix a date on an invoice
You click "09/12/2026" and type "09/21/2026". The digits already exist in the PDF's font, so the tool reuses them: the look is identical and the old date is gone from the file.
Change a name in a document
"Durand" becomes "Dupont": the letter "p" is not in the embedded font. The result is written in the closest standard font and a message tells you, so you can keep it or start over.
Mark up a quote
You add "Approved" in green, highlight the total in yellow and drop your signature as a transparent PNG at the bottom of the page.
