Add Text to PDF
Add text to any PDF page — type your text, drag it where you want it, and set the size and colour. The text is added as real, selectable text and the file downloads instantly. Everything runs in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded.

- Click Add text to stamp it on, then download the updated PDF.
About adding text to PDFs
Adding text to a PDF lets you fill in a form that has no fields, label a diagram, add a note or date, or correct a typo without the original editor. You place the text exactly where you want it on the page and choose its size and colour.
This tool draws real, selectable text onto the page rather than overlaying a picture of the text, so it stays crisp at any zoom and can be searched and copied. It works on the page you choose and runs entirely in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add text to a PDF?
Upload your PDF, type your text, then drag it to the right spot on the page preview. Adjust the size and colour and click Add text to download the updated PDF.
Is the text selectable?
Yes — it's added as real PDF text (not a flattened image), so it stays sharp and can be selected, searched and copied.
Can I add text in other languages?
Yes. Latin text uses a built-in font; for Chinese and other non-Latin scripts a matching font is embedded automatically. A few Simplified-Chinese-only characters are reported rather than drawn blank.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The text is added entirely in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
