About Edit PDF Text

Editing text in a finished PDF normally means recreating the whole document, but ILikePdf Edit PDF Text makes it possible in place. Click any text block to select it, type your replacement, and adjust position and size as needed. You can also add new text boxes, images, or a signature with the toolbar. Everything is applied locally in the browser, so the original file is never uploaded or stored remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit PDF text without uploading to a server?

Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly — no upload, no server, no sign-up. Your file never leaves your device.

What text properties can I change?

You can change font family, size, colour, alignment, and position. Add new text boxes anywhere on any page, or edit existing text with the built-in text tool.

Can I edit a scanned PDF?

Scanned PDFs are images, so text cannot be edited directly. Run the page through our OCR tool first to make text searchable and selectable, then edit it here.

Does the edited PDF have a watermark?

No watermark is ever added. All our tools produce clean output files with zero branding or watermarks.

Is editing PDF text free?

Completely free. No subscription, no credit card, no limits on pages or file size (within your device memory).
