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

  1. 1Open the PDF editor and load your PDF.
  2. 2Choose the text tool and click where you want to write — fill in forms, add labels or notes.
  3. 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.
