What you get

Why use Mergevanta to edit a PDF

Everything a quick edit needs

Text in Helvetica, Times or Courier, PNG and JPG images, rectangles, ellipses, lines, arrows, a freehand pen, a highlighter and white-out.

Nothing leaves your device

Your browser opens, edits and saves the PDF. There's no upload, no account and no copy kept anywhere.

Right on rotated pages

Changes are saved upright, exactly where you placed them — even on pages that are turned sideways or have unusual page boxes.

Undo, redo, fine control

Every change can be undone. Drag or use the arrow buttons to move things, resize from the corners, and duplicate or delete in a tap.

FAQ

Edit PDF questions

Not in place. A PDF stores text as positioned characters, and this tool doesn't rewrite them. To change a word, cover it with White-out and add a new text box on top in a similar font and size.

No. White-out covers content on the page, but the original text and images stay inside the file and can still be copied or extracted. To remove private information for good, use Redact PDF.

No. Edit PDF runs in your browser: the file is opened, edited and saved on your device and never sent anywhere. The only limit on size is your device's memory.

Yes. Text the standard PDF fonts (Helvetica, Times and Courier) can't hold — such as non-Latin scripts and emoji — is added as a high-resolution image, so it looks right but can't be selected or searched.

Yes. Shapes, lines, arrows and pen strokes are saved as vector graphics, so they stay crisp at any zoom, and images keep their original pixels.

Yes. Tap a tool, drag with your finger to draw shapes and pen strokes, and type straight onto the page with your phone's keyboard.

Yes, if you know its password — enter it when asked. The saved copy doesn't need a password any more, so use Protect PDF if it should have one again.
