Works everywhere

PC, Mac, iPhone, Android — just a modern browser. Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

Editing a PDF directly in the browser is now possible without installing expensive software. OnlinePdfEditor offers a complete editor: you can add overlaid text, draw freehand, insert geometric shapes, add sticky notes, highlight text and insert digital signatures.

All edits are applied as an additional layer on top of the original document — a non-destructive technique that preserves the original content. The resulting PDF is compatible with all standard PDF viewers.

The editor supports PDFs of any size and complexity. For documents with selectable text, you can also use the text-specific annotation tools.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add text to an existing PDF?

Yes. With the text tool you can add new text boxes anywhere in the document. You can choose font, size and colour.

Can I sign a PDF online?

Yes. The signature tool lets you draw your signature freehand, upload a signature image or type it. The signature is embedded in the PDF.

Does the edited PDF keep the original layout?

Yes. The editor overlays annotations on the original document without altering pre-existing text, images and layout.

Can I edit password-protected PDFs?

Yes, by entering the password when prompted. Changes are saved in the unlocked PDF.

Are my files sent to a server?

No. All processing happens in the browser. The file never leaves your device.

Does it work on smartphones?

Yes. The editor is optimised for touch screens: you can annotate, sign and edit PDFs even from iPhone or Android.
