... or drop PDF file here
Upload your document either by drag and drop or by browsing from your local disk. A new page opens showing your file, ready to edit. It works similarly to editing a file in a word processor, click into the text, make your changes, and they show up right away without a separate preview step.
Once you're done, save your edits, click convert, and your file is ready to download. If the PDF started as a scanned document rather than a typed one, OCR PDF should run first so the text is actually selectable and editable here, rather than treated as a flat image you can't click into.
There's no limit on how many edits you can make in one session, and no separate charge for larger documents. The tool is built to handle a hundred-page file the same way it handles a single page.
Add new text anywhere on your PDF, or edit existing words with font options and colour selection. It's almost as if there's a word processor embedded within your PDF editor for corrections or notes, without needing separate software installed.
Drag photos and logos into position, or draw lines, rectangles, and arrows onto the screen to highlight areas. Easily resize and arrange them for custom layouts or notes.
Sign your e-signature, or draw it by hand for faster deals, without printing anything or switching to another app. For signature workflows that need to be tracked or verified more formally, Sign PDF is the dedicated tool for that.
Delete text, images, or sections with the eraser, or black out sensitive info for privacy. Good for cleaning up old documents before sharing, without needing a separate app just for that one task. For redaction that needs to be permanent and audit-safe rather than just visually removed, Redact PDF is the more reliable choice.
Rotate, delete, or reorder pages on the go. Append content from other tools to get full control over your document's flow and length, all without leaving the editing screen.
View changes instantly as you make them. With zoom, check details and review all your edits before you save.
Made a mistake? Undo what you want to without facing any hassle, and redo it again if you change your mind.
Edit on the go with an online PDF editor, adjust your details easily on the browser, and save them regardless of how huge the actual file size is, no download queue or file size warning to work around.
Beautify your PDF documents for free with easy drag-and-drop visual elements like stamps and highlights. The tool feels like a canvas, and you can modify your visuals in a PDF document as well.
Work with even the most complex documents, no matter how many pages they have or how many images are embedded inside them. Once the file is edited and finalized, Compress PDF can shrink it back down for easier sharing if the edits pushed the file size up.
Optimize your resume by adding new skills, revising dates, or even including a picture. Tailor your resume according to a particular company's job requirements to stand out, without needing to rebuild the whole document from scratch.
Use markup tools to draw attention, highlight key points, and add comments to PDFs on shared screens during a call, keeping everyone engaged and on the same page throughout the discussion.
Tailor client information, drop in logos, and add details about yourself or your clients on legal contracts to maintain a professional look.
Insert diagrams, highlight key words, or add your own notes to customize a textbook and provide additional support for learning.
Complete blanks, signature sections, or redact personal info securely prior to delivery. If several separate legal documents need to become one file before editing, Merge PDF combines them first.
Yes. The tool uses intelligent OCR to convert scanned images into editable text, so you can tweak words directly.
The tool has an advanced algorithm that preserves font style and size exactly as they were in the original PDF.
Yes. Add links with a quick click to embed links in text or images, turning static documents into live ones for email, reports, or web shares.
Yes. Pinch to zoom, swipe to move along pages, and use your phone keyboard to add text to your pages, the same editing tools work whether you're on desktop or mobile.
The PDF Editor can technically do a lot, sign, redact, annotate, but a few of those jobs also have a dedicated tool built specifically for them, with more control than the general editor offers. Here's when to reach for which:
Use the Editor for one-off signatures on a document you're editing anyway. Use Sign PDF instead when signing is the actual task, especially for contracts or forms where a tracked, verifiable signature matters more than a quick drawn one.
Use the Editor's eraser for cosmetic cleanup, covering a stray mark or an old note. Use Redact PDF when the goal is permanently removing sensitive information before sharing, since redaction needs to strip the underlying content, not just visually cover it.
For everything else, adding text, inserting images, rotating or reordering pages, the Editor is the right and only tool, there's no separate dedicated page for those actions, so there's nothing to second-guess there.
A common workflow: edit and finalize the content here, then run the result through Compress PDF if the file size grew from added images, before sending it out.
Confirm internal links point to live tool pages: OCR PDF, Sign PDF, Redact PDF, Compress PDF, Merge PDF, all used inline as contextual links, not a separate related-tools block. URL format is https://pdf24.ai/tool-slug, confirm each slug matches the live route, note this page's own slug is /pdf-editor, not /edit-pdf. Add FAQPage schema markup wrapping the single Commonly Asked Questions block only. Add SoftwareApplication schema with applicationCategory: BusinessApplication, price: 0. Confirm meta title and description exactly match the approved copy provided, do not alter. Run copy through the existing accessibility check for heading hierarchy, H1 to H2 to H3, no skipped levels. Confirm CTA button in Start Using section reuses the same upload trigger as the top-of-page button, not a duplicate or dead one. Confirm whether General Questions About PDF24 already exists as a shared footer or global component elsewhere on the site, or whether the Documentation page now serves that role. Editor vs. the Specialist Tools is a new section not in the original layout, needs design review before build. Go back and correct any earlier drafts in this project that referenced this tool as /edit-pdf, the confirmed slug is /pdf-editor.
