Add Text to PDF Free

Type a line onto any page of a PDF, a date, a name, a reference number.

Free, and staying free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark, nothing uploaded. Keeping it up does cost something (the domain, and the AI that reads your notification) and a contribution goes there. Passing the site to someone filling the same form helps just as much, and costs nothing at all.

About Add Text to PDF

Filling in a date, writing a reference number on a covering letter, or adding a missing detail to a form usually means printing, writing and scanning again. Typing the line straight onto the page skips all of that and keeps the document digital.

Good to know

  • Text is added as a new layer, so nothing already on the page is disturbed.
  • Check the placement on the downloaded file, since exact positioning is easier to judge in a viewer.
  • For a signature image rather than typed text, Sign PDF is the right tool.

Questions

Can I fill in a whole form this way?

You can add lines one at a time. It suits a few fields rather than a long form.

Will the text be selectable?

Yes. It is real text, so it can be selected and searched.

Can I change it afterwards?

Not from the downloaded file. Work from your original again.

Can I choose where it goes?

Yes, you set the page and the position.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs inside your browser using your own device. Your file never leaves it, and we never see or store it. You can even disconnect from the internet and the tool still works.

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no daily limit, no watermark on your files. The site is paid for by ads.
