🔤Add Text to PDF - Type on a PDF and Fill In Forms Online
Write anywhere on a PDF page. After uploading, click on the page preview and a text box appears ready for typing; drag the handle at its top-left corner to move it and adjust the font size, color and bold as you go. Add as many boxes as you like on each page and switch pages to keep going. It is ideal for PDFs you cannot edit directly — application forms, registration sheets, blanks in contracts or scanned forms. On export the text is simply overlaid on the original page, so the existing text, images and layout stay vector. Latin text is written with a standard font and remains selectable and searchable, while Chinese and other scripts are embedded as high-resolution images so nothing turns into missing glyphs. Everything runs in your browser and the file is never uploaded.

FAQ
- Can I fill in a PDF that has no form fields?
- Yes — that is exactly what this tool is for. It does not rely on form fields; you place text anywhere on the page, which works for scans and ordinary PDFs alike.
- Is the added text selectable and searchable?
- Latin letters and digits are written with a standard PDF font, so they can be selected and searched. Chinese and other scripts are embedded as high-resolution images so they display correctly on every device and stay sharp when zoomed.
- Does it change the original content?
- No. The original text, images and links are preserved as they are; the tool only adds a layer with the text you typed.
- Are my files or data uploaded?
- No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.
