Edit PDF - Editor workspace in the browser
Thumbnail sidebar, large page view, zoom, undo/redo, text with color, adjustable highlights, whiteout, and removing pages — all in your browser. Marks preview live on the page before you download. Deep vector text reflow still needs desktop software.
How it works
- Upload a PDF. Use the sidebar to pick a page; the large canvas is where you work.
- Choose a tool: Text (click to place), Whiteout or Highlight (drag a box), or Hand to navigate. Pick highlight tint when Highlight is active. Adjust Zoom; use Undo / Redo or Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y (⌘ on Mac).
- Check Remove on a thumbnail to drop that page from the file you download, then Download PDF.
Tips for best results
- Existing PDF text is not edited in place — new text is drawn on top (like a stamp). To change body copy, use Word or a desktop PDF editor.
- Whiteout draws a white box in PDF space; it hides content visually but does not delete the original objects underneath.
- Added text uses a standard font in the export — complex Unicode may not match preview; use PDF to Word for heavy text changes.
- Very large files (100+ pages) show only the first 100 previews — split the PDF first if you need to edit later pages.
- On phones and tablets you can drag highlights and whiteout with your finger; pinch-zoom the browser, then use the zoom slider for fine control.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I delete or rewrite existing text?
- Not as real PDF text. You can cover it with whiteout and add new text on top, or use a full editor to change the underlying content.
- Are my changes in the downloaded file?
- Yes — removed pages stay out of the file; new text, highlights, and white rectangles are saved in the PDF you download.
- Why do my marks look slightly different after download?
- Preview uses your system fonts on the canvas; the PDF embeds a standard font for new text. Shapes should match closely.
