A practical guide

How to use Add Text to PDF

  1. Choose a PDF and select the pages to update.

  2. Enter text and adjust its size, color, opacity and position.

  3. Apply the text and review it against the page content.

Add text as an overlay

New text is drawn over the existing page. It does not edit, erase or reflow the original text, and placement can cover existing content. Use it for labels or notes rather than altering the underlying document.

Processing and limits

Processing stays in your browser. PDFs can be up to 100 MB and 2,000 pages.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change text already in the PDF?

No. This tool adds new text over the page; it does not edit, erase or reflow the original text.
