2

Type the new content

Switch to Text mode, click on the whiteout and type the replacement, matching size and color to the original.

3

FAQ

Does this really modify the original text?

Honest answer: no. It covers the original content with white rectangles and overlays new text; the original text objects remain in the file (copying over the region may still pick up the old text). Do not rely on it for true redaction.

What is it good for?

Visual fixes — typos, updated dates or amounts, covering stray marks on scans. Not suitable when the underlying data must be irreversibly removed.

Try it ↑
Is CJK text supported?

Yes, a Noto Sans SC subset is embedded automatically so text renders consistently everywhere.

Can I delete or replace images inside the PDF?

Yes — but only images embedded as standalone objects (XObjects). The editor lists the images it can target on the current page, with one-click delete or replace (replacements keep the original placement and size). Graphics flattened into the content or scanned pages cannot be targeted; use whiteout instead.

Can I rotate or delete pages right in the editor?

Yes. The page actions bar rotates the current page 90°, deletes it, or inserts a blank page after it — no need to switch tools.

Try it ↑
Is my file uploaded?

No — editing and exporting run entirely in your browser.

Does a digital signature survive processing?

No. Any change to a signed PDF (merging, compressing, watermarking…) invalidates the existing digital signature — that is the tamper-proof design of PDF signatures, not a limit of this site. Process first, then sign.

Try it ↑
Can I trust the processing engine?

Yes — and you can verify it: the tool runs on open-source in-browser engines (pdf-lib, pdf.js, Tesseract OCR…) on your own device. Open DevTools → Network while processing and you will see no file upload requests.
