  • No sign-up to start
  • Nothing is uploaded: your file stays on your device
  • Works on iPhone, Android and computer

Free to use. A free account saves your file with a Quick PDF watermark; Pro removes it.

How it works

  1. Open your PDF
  2. Choose “Edit text”, then select the line you want to change
  3. Type, then press Download

Private by design

Quick PDF runs entirely in your browser. Your PDFs are opened, edited and saved on your own device. They are never sent to a server, so nobody (us included) can see them. It even works offline once loaded.

Questions

Can I really change the existing text?

Yes for most PDFs made on a computer. We cover the old words and write your new ones in a matching font and size. The old words stay hidden underneath; use Redact if they must be removed for good.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Scans are pictures, so there is no text to select. You can still add text, white-out, sign and redact.
