Private by design

Ordinary document processing happens in browser memory. The document is not intentionally uploaded to our application server, so there is no server copy of the file to delete.

No account required

Choose a supported file, complete the task, download the result, and keep control of the original.

How to use it

  1. 1Choose Edit PDF and select a PDF you are authorized to change.
  2. 2Enter the text, page, position, and size.
  3. 3Create the new copy and inspect every addition before relying on it.

Worked example

Add a short note to a PDF copy

Start with

  • A one-page sample.pdf with an empty area
  • New text: Draft — page 1, placed inside that empty area

What to expect

sample-edited.pdf with the added note on page 1. Existing text remains underneath; this does not replace or redact it.

Check your result

  • Open the copy and check that the note is inside the page and does not overlap important content.
  • If it is misplaced, start again from the original and adjust the position. Coordinates start at the bottom-left.

Can it change existing words?
