How to add text to a PDF

Adding text places new, readable text onto a PDF page — useful for labels, notes, and filling visible blanks. You click where the text goes, style it, and export, without changing the content underneath. It runs in your browser.

Open the PDF.
Select Add Text in the toolbar.
Click the page where the text should appear and type.
Set the font size, color, and position, then export.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add text to a scanned PDF?

Yes, as a visible overlay. The tool places new PDF text; it does not recognize scanned text.

Can I change the font size and color?

Yes. Style controls let you set size, color, and placement before export.

Does the added text stay selectable?

Yes, where supported the export writes real PDF text that readers can select.
