Edit PDF Online

Why Use an Online PDF Editor?

An online PDF editor is an essential tool for anyone who needs to quickly modify PDF documents without installing expensive software. PDFs are a universal file format, but they can be difficult to change once created. Our free editor solves this by letting you add new text, shapes, and annotations directly in your browser, saving you time and effort. Unlike server-based editors, your files never leave your device — nothing is uploaded to our servers.

Key Features of Our PDF Editor

PDFNano's online editor provides a focused set of tools to handle common editing tasks:

• Draw Shapes: Place rectangles, circles, or lines to highlight sections, redact content, or structure your document.
• Move and Resize: Drag any added element to reposition it, or use corner handles to resize it precisely.
• Customize Colors: Choose any color for your text and shapes to match your document's style.
• Delete and Undo: Remove individual elements or clear all edits with one click.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to edit existing text in a PDF?

Our editor lets you add new text, shapes, and annotations on top of any page, but it does not modify the original static text of the PDF. To edit existing text, first convert your PDF to Word using our PDF to Word converter, make your changes in Word, then export back to PDF.

Is there a file size limit for the editor?

Because all processing happens in your browser, there is no server-side file limit. Very large files may take longer to load depending on your device and browser. If a PDF is over 100MB, try our PDF compressor first to reduce size before editing.

Are my files safe and secure?

Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded to our servers, so nothing leaves your device. Your documents stay completely private.

Can I add my own text or change the font?

Yes. Click the "Add Text" tool, then click anywhere on the page to place a text box. You can change the color and size of your text. To use a different font, convert the PDF to Word, edit it there, then convert back to PDF using our tools.

Is this PDF editor really free?

Yes. PDFNano's PDF editor is completely free with no watermarks, no hidden fees, and no signup required.
