How to use Edit PDF

Annotate PDF pages with new text, translucent highlights, inserted images and freehand notes. Existing page content stays underneath. This is an overlay editor, not a word processor or a secure redaction tool.

Choose an unlocked PDF and the page to edit.
Choose an annotation, set its size and position, and add it to the page. Undo unwanted additions.
Review your pages and download the edited PDF.

A practical example

Add a reviewer note, highlight a paragraph, and draw a check mark without uploading the document.

Up to 200 pages, 20 MB and 100 annotations. New content is flattened, and existing digital signatures may be invalidated.
