Frequently asked questions about editing PDF text
Can I edit existing text in a PDF?
The editor overlays new text on top of the existing page. It does not reflow or delete original content — think of it as a precise text stamp. To replace text, you can cover the original with a white box and place new text on top.
Do my files get uploaded to a server?
Your PDF is sent to our server to be processed, but it's deleted immediately after your edit is finished. We never store, log, or share your files.
Will the edited PDF have a watermark?
No. Your downloaded PDF is clean — no logos, no stamps, and no hidden pages added by us.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes. The editor is mobile-first and works on iPhone, Android, and any device with a modern browser.
What font does the added text use?
The editor approximates the visual appearance of your document but uses standard fonts for overlaid text. Exact font matching depends on what fonts are embedded in the original PDF.
Is there a file size limit?
Most PDFs up to 200 MB are handled without issue. Very large files may take a little longer to upload and process.
