Your PDF contains sensitive information you do not want to upload to a third-party service.

You want to change a small amount of text without buying a desktop PDF editor.

You want to keep the original PDF look and only minimally change fonts after editing.

Known limitations

V1 intentionally leaves the following out of scope.

Scanned (image-only) PDFs without a text layer are detected and skipped.

Adding new text boxes, editing images, reordering or deleting pages will arrive in later versions.

Password-protected PDFs cannot be unlocked yet.

Color text is exported in black for now. A manual color picker is planned.

FAQ

A few common questions before you start.

Will my PDF be uploaded?

No. The PDF is parsed, edited and exported entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

Will fonts break after editing?

The editor reuses the embedded PDF font when possible. If your new characters are missing from the embedded font, it falls back to Noto Sans SC automatically, and you can also upload a font of your own.

Can I edit scanned (image-only) PDFs?

Not yet. Scanned PDFs do not have an editable text layer, so the tool detects them and asks for a text-based PDF instead.

Can I add new text boxes to the PDF?

Not yet. V1 only supports replacing existing text. Adding new text boxes, editing images and splitting pages will come in later versions.
