Add text to a PDF — free, in your browser
EditItAll adds text to PDFs for free without uploading them: open the document in the browser-based editor, place a text box anywhere on the page, type, and export. The text is written into the PDF as a standard annotation object that Acrobat, Preview and other viewers display.
How it works
- 1Open the PDF editor and load your PDF.
- 2Choose the text tool and click where you want to write — fill in forms, add labels or notes.
- 3Export — the text is embedded in the PDF and visible in any viewer.
Like every EditItAll tool, this runs entirely in your browser: the document is opened, edited and rebuilt on your own device, and nothing is uploaded. No account, no watermark, no page limits.
Frequently asked questions
Can I fill out a form with this?+
You can type over any static form by placing text boxes where answers belong. Interactive AcroForm fields are not supported — for those, use a desktop PDF suite.
Does the text stay in the PDF permanently?+
Yes — exporting writes it into the file as a standard PDF object, so it displays everywhere and survives re-saving.
Can I edit the existing text of the PDF itself?+
No — that is an honest limitation. You can add new text on top and reorganize pages, but rewriting the original text stream requires a tool like Acrobat.
