Free Online PDF Editor,
No Sign-Up Required

Yes. PDF Awesome's free Edit PDF tool allows you to add text boxes, highlights, underlines, strikethroughs, sticky notes, drawings, and image stamps to your PDFs while preserving the existing fonts. You can edit files up to 10 MB without signing up — 50 MB with a free account — and there are no watermarks.

Upload your PDF. Select Add Text in the editor toolbar. Add and position a text box anywhere in your PDF, then adjust its font, size, color, and formatting options. Then download the finished file.

You can annotate PDFs in PDF Awesome using a range of text and markup tools. Add text boxes and sticky notes, highlight or underline content, apply strikethroughs, draw freely, or add image stamps. Or use arrows and shapes to draw attention to specific content.

Yes. PDF Awesome rewrites the text embedded in the PDF itself rather than covering it with an overlay, and true text editing is available on every plan — including without an account. You can also add text boxes and markups on top where you want to annotate rather than change the original. For very extensive rewrites, converting your PDF to an editable Word file and converting it back once your changes are complete remains an option.

Annotation editing adds new objects, such as text boxes and markups, over the original PDF content without changing the underlying text. True text editing changes the existing text embedded in the PDF itself. PDF Awesome supports both annotation editing and true text replacement, depending on the editing tool and workflow you use.

Yes. But with some limitations. PDF Awesome allows you to annotate scanned PDFs with text boxes, highlights, sticky notes, and more. However, scanned documents primarily contain image-based content. So you can't edit the existing text directly. It also does not automatically run OCR.

Without an account, you can edit 1 PDF per day. A free account allows 3 daily edits, while Pro offers unlimited edits and supports files up to 200 MB with no page limit. You can also compress large PDFs or unlock protected files before editing.

Yes. PDF Awesome lets you edit your PDF directly without using Word first. Edit text, add or replace images, annotate pages, draw shapes, and insert signatures in the editor.

Yes. PDF Awesome lets you add new images or replace existing ones directly in your PDF. You can update logos, charts, diagrams, and other visual content, with images embedded at full resolution.

Yes. PDF Awesome lets you fill out PDF forms directly in your browser. Enter information in form fields, check boxes, select dropdowns, and enter dates, then save the completed PDF.

No. PDF Awesome applies edits directly to the PDF, so images remain at their original resolution, fonts are preserved, and vector graphics stay sharp. The edited PDF is not re-rendered or recompressed.
