Edit PDF Files Online
Add text, images, shapes or freehand annotations to a PDF. Free, secure, and works on any device — no signup required.
PDFWix's editor handles the 80% of PDF edits people actually need: add text on top of a form, drop in an image, draw a shape or arrow, highlight a passage, or scribble a freehand note. It's not Acrobat Pro — we don't reflow paragraphs or re-extract original fonts — but for filling forms, marking up reviews, or adding a logo to a page, it's faster and free. Everything happens in your browser; the PDF never reaches our server.

Tips for editing PDFs
Existing text isn't editable line-by-line
PDFs aren't like Word. To fully edit body text, convert to Word first, edit, then re-export.
Use shapes for redaction-by-cover-up
A black rectangle hides text visually but the underlying text is still searchable. For real removal use Redact PDF.
Snap to alignment
Hold Shift while dragging an annotation to constrain to vertical/horizontal. Saves a lot of fiddling on forms.
Highlight is your friend in reviews
Highlight + a freehand circle around a problem area communicates faster than long comments.
Save versions
Edits flatten on download. Keep a copy of the original before saving so you can re-edit later if needed.
