PDF Editor – Free Online Tool

How to Add Text to a PDF

1. Upload the PDF: Drop the file in and the first page renders in the editor.
2. Set your style: Choose a colour and font size in the toolbar before you place text.
3. Click to add text: Click anywhere on the page to drop in an editable text box, then type. Drag the box to reposition it.
4. Move between pages: Use the arrows to navigate. Annotations are remembered per page.
5. Save: Click Save PDF to download a copy with your text written into the document.

Why Use This Tool?

• No upload, no account: Editing happens in the browser, so signed forms and private documents stay on your machine.
• Real PDF text: Annotations are written into the PDF itself, not flattened into a screenshot, so the file stays small and sharp.
• Free with no watermark: Nothing is stamped on the output and there is no page limit.
• Works everywhere: Any modern desktop browser - nothing to install.

Common Use Cases

• Fill in a form that was sent as a flat PDF
• Add a note or correction to a contract before returning it
• Label a diagram or drawing
• Put a date or reference number on a scanned document
• Add a caption to a page without recreating the file

Good to Know

• This is a text annotation tool, not a full reflow editor - it adds text on top of a page rather than rewriting existing paragraphs.
• Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
• Text is drawn with a standard font; custom fonts from the original document are not used for new text.
