The practical guide
Annotate PDF pages while preserving their underlying content.
This editor adds new vector text, shapes, drawings, and images. It does not pretend to rewrite arbitrary existing PDF text.
Undo and redo
Toolbar controls and Cmd/Ctrl+Z shortcuts step through annotation changes. Delete or Backspace removes a selected object outside form fields.
Whiteout is visual only
A white rectangle can cover visible content, but the underlying PDF data remains. Do not use visual whiteout for confidential redaction.
Privacy by architecture
Your files and tool inputs stay in your browser.
The PDF, annotations, images, and exported document stay in this browser and are not uploaded to any server.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Pages are rendered and exported in your browser.
Can this change existing PDF text?
No. This phase adds annotations and content on top of existing pages; it does not rewrite arbitrary source text.
Does export rasterize the PDF?
No. The underlying PDF is preserved and new annotation content is embedded over it.
Is visual whiteout secure redaction?
No. It only covers content visually. Underlying text or objects may still exist in the file.
