Edit PDF — frequently asked questions
Drop the PDF in — each page shows as a thumbnail. Drag pages to reorder, click the trash icon to delete, the rotate icon to turn one page 90°, the plus icon to insert a blank page. Add text by switching to the Text tool and clicking on the live page preview. When you're happy, click Apply & download.
Yes. Drag any thumbnail to a new position, or use the arrow buttons on each page. Page order is preserved in the exported PDF, with all fonts, images and links intact.
No. Editing runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib and PDF.js. The PDF never leaves your device.
Yes. pdf-lib copies whole page objects, so embedded fonts, vector graphics, raster images, hyperlinks, bookmarks and form fields survive editing. Only the pages you explicitly delete or rotate are changed.
This tool lets you add new text on top of pages. Editing existing text inside a PDF is much harder because PDF text is positioned glyph-by-glyph and rarely flows like a Word document. For deeper edits, convert to Word first with our (upcoming) PDF to Word tool, edit, then export back to PDF.
No. Use our Unlock PDF tool first to remove the password, then edit.
About PDF editing in the browser
A PDF is a sequence of page objects, each containing fonts, images, vector instructions and metadata. "Editing" a PDF can mean a lot of things — moving pages around, deleting them, rotating, stamping new content on top, or rewriting actual text and images.
What this editor does
- Page management. Reorder, delete, rotate, or insert blank pages.
pdf-libcopies entire page objects so fonts, images and links survive. - Text annotations. Add new text anywhere on a page using the embedded Helvetica font.
- Non-destructive. The original PDF in your browser tab is never overwritten; edits are recorded as an operation list and applied to a fresh PDF when you click Apply.
What it doesn't do (yet)
- Editing existing text inside the page content stream — that's a fundamentally different problem because PDF text doesn't reflow.
- Redaction (irreversible removal of content). For sensitive removal, use the Watermark tool with a black opaque rectangle covering the area, then Flatten by re-exporting.
Privacy
Your PDF, the thumbnails, and the edited output never leave this tab. You can confirm in your browser's network tab — no upload requests are made.
