PDF Editor
Edit the real content of your PDF
About this tool
A full PDF editor that runs entirely in your browser. When you open a document, the tool automatically detects the text on each page and turns it into editable elements: double-click to change the content, move it or delete it. You can also add new text boxes, rectangles, ellipses, images and freehand drawings, resize and reorder every element, undo and redo, and finally download the edited PDF. Because everything happens locally, your file never leaves your device.
Edits are applied locally in the browser. That keeps annotations, watermarks, crops, and page numbers on your machine instead of a remote render farm.

Frequently asked questions
Can I edit text that the PDF already has?
Yes. When you open the PDF the text on each page is detected and you can double-click to edit it. On export the original text is masked with the background color and the new text is drawn.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Detection, editing and export happen entirely in your browser. The PDF is never uploaded.
Why doesn't edited text always look identical to the original?
The editor uses the Helvetica font and approximates the position and background color. On documents with complex fonts or backgrounds the result may vary slightly.
Can I add images and shapes?
Yes. You can insert PNG or JPG images, rectangles, ellipses, freehand drawings and whiteout boxes to cover content.
Does PDF Editor upload my files or text?
No. Processing is designed to run in your browser. Your inputs are not uploaded to DevToolDeck servers for conversion.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use the tool immediately without signing up.
Is the tool free?
Yes. DevToolDeck tools are free to use in the browser. The site may show ads to keep the service available.
