Type on a PDF, free

Need to write on a PDF without printing it? Open the file, click where the text should go and type. It’s the quickest way to fill in a form that isn’t fillable, add a date or a note, or label a drawing. Choose from four sizes, bold and six colours, press Enter for a new line, and drag the text wherever you want it. The PDF is changed in your browser and never uploaded.

    Large or scanned files are fine — they simply take a little longer.

    Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, in any modern browser. Nothing to install.
