    How to edit a PDF

    1. 1

      Select your PDF

      Drag your PDF onto the drop zone, or click it to choose a file from your device.

    2. 2

      Add your changes

      Pick Text, Rectangle, Rotate or Delete, choose the page (and position for text and shapes), and add each change to the list.

    3. 3

      Apply and download

      Click Apply Edits to create the edited PDF, then download it. No account needed.

    What you can change

    The editor adds to your PDF; it doesn't rewrite text that's already there. To change existing wording, edit the original document and export a new PDF.

    • Text: type new text and place it on any page at the X and Y position you choose.
    • Rectangles: draw an outlined box to draw attention to part of a page.
    • Rotate: turn a page by 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
    • Delete: remove pages you don't need.

    Is it safe for confidential documents?

    PDF Perfect has no PDF upload endpoint. The editing happens in JavaScript on your device, and your browser creates the download without sending the PDF file or its contents to PDF Perfect.

    The website still makes ordinary requests for pages, fonts, analytics, feedback you submit and, when enabled, advertising. Open your browser's Network tab while you process a file to confirm that none of those requests carries the PDF.

    How to check that your file never leaves your device

    Limits

    • The file picker accepts PDFs up to 1 GB, but available device memory sets the practical limit.
    • Existing text can't be edited or retyped, and scanned pages aren't converted to text.
    • Shapes are outlines only, and nothing you draw removes the content underneath, so the editor can't redact sensitive information.
    • Password-protected PDFs aren't supported. Remove the password first.

    Frequently asked questions

    Open the Edit tool, choose Text, type your words, pick the page and position, add it, then click Apply Edits. The text is added to the PDF in your browser.

    No. PDF Perfect adds new text, shapes and page changes, but it can't rewrite text that's already in the file.

    Yes, both are in the Edit tool. If you only need to rotate pages, the Rotate PDF tool is quicker.

    No. Covering text with a shape doesn't remove it from the file, and it can still be copied. Use a dedicated redaction tool for sensitive information.

    No. PDF Perfect never adds a watermark, and there's no sign-up.
