PDF Text Editor (Alpha) {#pdf-text-editor}#
Open a PDF and edit its text and images right in your browser, then save a new copy. Edits are grouped so you can change a whole paragraph at once.
The PDF Text Editor is alpha / experimental. Its behaviour and output may change, and complex PDFs may not come out perfectly. Always keep a copy of your original file.
Multi-Tool#
Upload your PDFs once, then rotate, reorder, delete, and split pages in a single workspace without re-uploading between steps.
Merge PDFs#
Combine several PDFs into one file. Drag and drop to set the order before you merge.
Compare#
Spot the differences between two versions of a document. The comparison is text-based: removed words are highlighted in red and added words in green.
Compress#
Shrink a PDF's file size (typically 10-90% smaller) by choosing how much quality you want to keep.
Convert#
Convert between PDF and 50+ formats, including images, Office documents, HTML, and more. You can convert several files in one go.
OCR#
Turn scanned PDFs into searchable text by recognising the words in the page images. Supports 100+ languages.
Redact#
Permanently remove sensitive information from a PDF. Draw boxes over what you want to hide, or let the tool find and remove text and patterns automatically.
Common patterns:
- SSN:
\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4} - Phone:
\(\d{3}\) \d{3}-\d{4} - Email:
[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+
Redaction is permanent - the original content cannot be recovered.
