How to edit a PDF in your browser
The PDF editor opens your document on a canvas where you can click the original text, images and shapes to change them, and add new content: text, images, rectangles, ellipses, lines, arrows, highlights and freehand drawing. You can also add blank pages and duplicate, rotate, move or delete pages.
The result is still a PDF with selectable text, not a flattened image. It is what you need to fix a typo in a brochure, update a date, replace an old figure or mark up a plan.
Step by step
- Upload your PDF and wait while the editor reads its content.
- Click any text, image or shape in the document to edit it, or pick a tool from the toolbar to add something new.
- Set font, size, colour, opacity and position in the side panel; arrange layers and pages as you like.
- Click Save PDF and download the result.
Layers, fonts and precision
Every element is a layer you can move, resize, rotate, align to the page, duplicate, hide or lock. There is a grid and snapping guides that never print, zoom up to 200 % and a history with up to 60 undo and redo steps. The usual shortcuts work: Delete removes, Ctrl/Cmd+D duplicates, Ctrl/Cmd+Z undoes and the arrow keys nudge the selection.
Eight font families are available in regular, bold, italic and bold italic, plus underline, alignment and line spacing. Fonts are embedded in the PDF, so the document looks the same on any machine.
Limits worth knowing
A scanned PDF is a photo of the page; there is no text to edit. Run it through OCR PDF first. And covering data with a rectangle does not remove it from the file; for sensitive information, use Redact PDF.
You can add up to 300 new elements. If text does not fit its box, the editor tells you instead of cutting it off, so you can resize it. Layers and history belong to the current session, so download your PDF before closing the tab.
AI writing assistant
With Naiara Plus, the editor includes an assistant that fixes spelling, improves wording, shortens, simplifies or translates text into seven languages. Only the text in the panel and your instruction are sent, you review the proposal before applying it with 'Use this text', and it can be undone. A proposal that changes or drops numbers is not applied.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I change the existing text in a PDF?
- Yes, click any text in the document to edit it. If the PDF is a scan, apply OCR first so there is text to edit.
- Is the text still selectable after editing?
- Yes. The editor exports a real PDF with embedded fonts, not an image of the page.
- Can I add, delete or reorder pages?
- Yes. From the page strip you can add blank pages and duplicate, rotate, move or delete pages.
- Does covering something with a rectangle delete it?
- No, the content is still underneath. To remove sensitive information, use Redact PDF.
- Is my project saved so I can continue later?
- No. Layers and history last for the current session. Save the PDF when you finish.
