How to type on a PDF
-
Open your PDF
Drop the file on the panel or choose it from your device. It is rendered right here in the page and is never uploaded.
-
Click and type
Type your text, then click the spot on the page where it should appear. Drag any text to move it; use the page arrows to work on other pages.
-
Download
The updated PDF is built in your browser with your text as a real text layer, and saved straight from the page. No watermark, no account.
Features
-
Real text, not images
What you type is embedded as selectable text in the PDF, so it stays sharp at any zoom and can be copied out again.
-
Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, Arabic
Fonts for Western and Eastern European languages, simplified Chinese, and Arabic are embedded on demand — including right-to-left layout.
-
Nothing is uploaded
The page renders and rebuilds your PDF inside this tab. A strict content security policy blocks outbound requests as a guarantee.
-
Every page, every edit
Add text to any page of the document, move or remove each piece until it sits exactly right, then download the finished file.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add text to a PDF without Adobe Acrobat?
Use this tool. Open your PDF, type the text you want, click the page to place it, drag it into position, and download the updated file. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
Is the text I add still selectable in the PDF?
Yes. Your text is written as a real text layer with embedded fonts, not a picture of letters. It stays sharp when printed or zoomed and can be selected and copied in any PDF reader.
Does this tool fill in PDF forms?
This tool overlays a real text layer on your PDF and does not modify existing form fields. If you click on a form field and type, the text sits visually on top — for actual form filling, use a PDF editor that supports forms.
Which languages can I type in?
Western and Eastern European languages, simplified Chinese, and Arabic are supported with embedded fonts. Right-to-left scripts such as Arabic are supported for basic layout; text with vowel marks may show display differences.
My PDF has editing restrictions. Can I still add text?
Yes. Restricted files open normally and you can place text anywhere. Because the file is locked against editing, the exported copy rebuilds each page as a high-resolution image with your text as a real text layer on top — the original text in that copy can no longer be selected or searched, and the page tells you this before you export.
Can I move or remove text after placing it?
Yes. Click any placed text to select it, drag it anywhere on the page, or remove it from the list on the left. Nothing is final until you download.
Is my document kept private?
Completely. The PDF is read, displayed, and rebuilt inside this browser tab, and a strict content security policy blocks outbound requests. Closing the page leaves nothing behind on any server.
