This tool needs JavaScript. Turn it on in your browser — or use the Telegram bot below, it does the same.

Choose a PDF and tap a tool: **Text** to type on a page, **Sign** to draw your signature, **Highlight** or **White-out** to mark or hide a line, **Image** to add a picture. Rotate, move or delete pages, then tap **Save PDF** — the file never leaves your device.

Works in your browser: what you type or choose stays on your device and is not uploaded anywhere.

## Questions

**Can I change the text that is already in the PDF?**

Not directly: cover it with **White-out** and type the new text on top with **Text**. In the saved file the old text is hidden under the white box.

**Is the added text searchable?**

No. What you add is saved as a picture on the page, so it looks the same in every viewer and in any alphabet, but it can't be selected or searched.

**Is my PDF uploaded?**

No. The pages are shown and saved in your browser on your device — safe for contracts and IDs.
