    Sign in to download

    Downloading needs a free FitMyKB account. Your edits stay right here while you sign in, in a new tab.

    We never store your PDF. It's edited on your device and never uploaded. Your account only holds your name and email.

    Find and replace

    Replaces the PDF's own text, keeping its font where every letter exists in it.

    Type anywhere

    Choose Add text and tap where the text should start. Choose the size and colour, and make it bold. Drag the text to move it and pull the corner to change its size. Double-click to change what you typed.

    Any language

    English text is written in Helvetica. Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali and Gujarati are written with Noto fonts and shaped correctly, and saved as real text that can be searched and copied. Emoji and other symbols are added as sharp images.

    Add or change?

    Add text puts new text on top of the page. To change words that are already in the PDF, use Edit text instead, which replaces them in the same font.

    Questions

    Can I add text to a scanned PDF?

    Yes. Add text works on any page, including scans and photos.

    How do I write on a line exactly?

    Add the text anywhere, then drag it onto the line; use the arrow keys for fine moves on a computer.

    Can I change the font?

    Added text uses Helvetica (like Arial) or Noto for Indian scripts, the most readable choices for forms.

    Is there a watermark on the result?

    No. The download is clean.
