Free online PDF editor

Edit a PDF in your browser

Open a PDF on this page and edit it right away, with no account and nothing to install. You can add text, draw with a pen, highlight passages, add shapes and arrows, insert an image or your signature, and organize the pages.

Everything you add is written into the PDF when you download it. Drawings and shapes stay sharp at any zoom, and the text you add is real text: it can be selected and searched. The original pages are kept as they are, so their text stays selectable too.

This editor adds to your PDF: it does not change the text already in it. To correct that text, use the PDF editor in the Drime app, as explained below.

How to edit a PDF in 3 steps

Open your PDF. Drop it on the page, or choose it from your device. A PDF can weigh up to 200 MB on a computer with Chrome or Edge, and 100 MB in other browsers and on most phones, with any number of pages.

Add what you need. Pick a tool: text, pen, highlighter, shape, image or signature, then click where it goes on the page. You can move, resize or rotate what you added, erase a stroke with the eraser, undo a change, and reorganize the pages in the column on the left.

Download your PDF. The edited PDF is created in your browser, with your additions and your new page order, ready to send, print or store.

Add text, drawings, highlights and shapes

Add a text box anywhere on a page, then choose its size, its color, bold, the alignment and the angle. Added text can use Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters, Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese. Emoji and Korean are not available yet: the editor tells you if a character can't be added.

The pen is for handwritten notes and the highlighter marks a passage while the text below stays readable. For diagrams and reviews, add rectangles, ellipses, lines and arrows, with the color and thickness you want and an optional fill.

You can also insert an image: JPG and PNG files are added as they are, and other image formats are converted to PNG.

Sign a PDF with your own signature

To sign a form, a quote or a letter yourself, draw your signature, then place it on the page and adjust its size. It is written into the PDF like everything else you add, and nothing is sent anywhere.

If you need other people to sign a document, use Drime Sign instead: you send the document to each signer, follow who has signed, and get the signed PDF with its audit certificate.

Reorder, rotate, delete or add pages

The pages of your PDF are shown in a column on the left. Move a page to put it in a new place, rotate a page that was scanned sideways, delete the ones you don't need, or add a blank page for your notes.

Your changes are applied when you download the PDF: pages keep their content, and their text stays selectable.

Private by design: your PDF never leaves your device

Your PDF is opened and edited inside your browser, on your device. It is never uploaded to Drime or to anyone else, which matters for contracts, forms and personal documents. Nothing is stored on a server, so there is nothing to delete afterwards. Like the rest of the site, the page counts visits, but never your files.

Password-protected PDFs can't be opened here. Remove the protection first, then open the PDF again.

Need to change the existing text?

This free editor adds text, drawings and images, but it does not change the text already written in a PDF. To correct a word, a date or a figure in the document itself, use the PDF editor in the Drime app: its Edit text tool changes the PDF's own text, and the app also offers comments, crop, stamps and forms.

Create a free Drime account with 20 GB of storage, upload your PDF, open it, then choose Edit in Drime.
