Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the font when adding text?
Yes — pick from several fonts, set the size, bold or italic, and the text color before placing it.
Can I also edit text that's already in the PDF?
Yes. Switch to the editor's Text Edit tool, click existing text in the document, and replace it in place — the tool tries to match the original font, size, and color automatically.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere to add text to it?
No. Everything happens in your browser using JavaScript. The file never leaves your device.
Is there a file size or page limit?
No. Since nothing is uploaded to a server, there's no server-side limit — the only ceiling is what your own device's memory can handle.
