Your work is safe
Every change is auto-saved to your browser's local storage. If you accidentally close the tab, or your computer crashes, reopen this page and you'll be offered to restore your last session. Nothing is ever uploaded.
Vector output — text stays sharp
Original PDF pages are copied unchanged into the output, so the original text remains selectable and searchable. Your annotations are added as real vector content — infinitely sharp at any zoom, small file size.
Common questions
Can I edit existing text in the PDF?
Yes. Click the Edit text tool, then click any word or number. The tool detects the original text, covers it, and draws your replacement in the same position and style.
Does the editor upload my PDF?
No. Your PDF is read, modified and re-saved entirely inside your browser.
Will the original text stay selectable?
Yes. Original pages are copied into the output unchanged, so selectable text is preserved.
Does it save my work if I close the tab?
Yes. The editor auto-saves to your browser every few seconds. Reopen the page and it offers to restore your previous session.
Can I undo a mistake?
Yes. Ctrl+Z undoes, Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes, up to 50 steps.
