PDF Editor — Free, No Sign-Up
Choose a PDF file, then use the editing tools above the page to add text, highlight, draw, white-out or sign it.
Honest note: your edits are added as new layers on top of the original pages — the original printed text itself cannot be changed in place. Use white-out to cover old text, then add new text on top. That is how every free browser PDF editor works.
How to use PDF Editor
Choose your PDF
Click the box above or drop one PDF file onto it. The first page appears in the editor below.
Edit the page
Pick a tool: Text to add a text box, Highlight to mark text, Draw to sketch freehand, White-out to cover text, Signature to sign, or Image to add a picture. Move between pages with the Prev / Next buttons — your edits stay on each page.
Save the edited PDF
Press “Save Edited PDF”. Your PDF downloads with all your edits on it — the original pages are untouched underneath.
Example: Example: open a contract, white-out an old date, type the new date on top, add your drawn signature at the bottom, and save — one edited PDF, ready to send.
About PDF Editor
Editing a PDF used to mean paying for software or uploading a private document to a website you cannot see. PDFTools edits your PDF right in your browser: add text boxes anywhere, highlight important lines, draw freehand, cover old text with white-out, drop in an image, or sign with a drawn signature — then save the edited PDF in seconds. It is free, with no account and no sign-up.
One honest limit, stated plainly: your edits are added as new layers on top of the original pages. The original printed text itself cannot be changed in place — that is how every free browser PDF editor works. White-out covers the old text, and your new text sits on top of it, which is exactly what you need for dates, names, signatures and notes. There is no upload, so your document never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I edit a PDF online for free?
Choose your PDF, pick a tool — Text, Highlight, Draw, White-out, Signature or Image — edit the page, then press “Save Edited PDF”. The edited file downloads immediately.
Can I change the original text in a PDF?
Not in place. Edits are added as new layers on top of the original pages — the original printed text itself cannot be changed. Use white-out to cover old text, then add your new text on top. That is the standard honest meaning of a free browser PDF editor.
Can I sign a PDF with this tool?
Yes. Choose the Signature tool, draw your signature on the pad, then click on the page where it should go. The signature is saved into the PDF as an image.
Can I edit several pages?
Yes. Use the Prev / Next buttons to move between pages. Your edits stay on the page where you made them, and all pages are saved together.
Is the PDF editor free?
Yes. Editing PDFs on PDFTools is 100% free. There is no paid plan, no page limit and no watermark.
Do my PDF files get uploaded?
No. The editing happens entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device and nothing is stored on any server.
