Is my PDF uploaded to any server?

No, never. This is a 100% client-side PDF editor. Your PDF is loaded and processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. It never leaves your device — making this one of the most private PDF editors available online.

Can I add text to a PDF?

Yes! Click the Text tool (T), then click anywhere on the PDF page to place a text box. Type your text, choose font, size, color, bold/italic, and alignment. Double-click any text annotation to edit it.

Click the Signature tool to open the signature pad. Draw your signature with your mouse or finger (on touch devices), then click "Add Signature" to place it on the PDF. Move and resize it to the perfect position.

Can I highlight or whiteout text?

Yes. Use the Highlight tool (H) to draw a semi-transparent yellow highlight over text. Use the Whiteout tool to cover sensitive content with a white rectangle — perfect for redacting information before sharing.

What annotations can I add?

Text, freehand drawing, rectangles, circles, lines, arrows, highlights, whiteouts, images, signatures, and stamps (APPROVED, DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, etc.). All support custom color, opacity, and positioning.

Are there file size limits?

No artificial limits. The only limitation is your browser memory. PDFs up to 50-100MB typically work well on modern devices. Very large PDFs with many high-resolution images may be slower to load.

Does the editor add watermarks?

No. The downloaded PDF is clean with no watermarks, no branding, no "Created with..." stamps. The output is exactly your PDF with your annotations.

What keyboard shortcuts are available?

V: Select, T: Text, P: Pen, R: Rectangle, H: Highlight. Ctrl+Z: Undo, Ctrl+Y: Redo, Ctrl+D: Duplicate, Ctrl+S: Save, Delete: Remove selected, Escape: Deselect.
