About Add Text to PDF
Add Text to PDF puts a line of text onto a chosen page of a PDF at a position you pick. It is handy for the small jobs that don't need full editing software: writing a date, adding a reference number, labelling a page, or filling in a blank on a form that has no proper form fields. You choose the page, place the text where you want it, and type the line.
The tool runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib, so the PDF is processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. It is free, works without an account or usage limits, and adds no watermark. Nothing to install — it works in a normal browser tab.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it free, and is an account required?
- It is free with no account and no sign-up. There are no usage limits, and no watermark is added to your PDF.
- Does my PDF leave my device?
- No. The text is added in your browser using pdf-lib, so the file is handled on your own device and never uploaded to a server. The document stays with you.
- How do I place the text?
- Open the PDF, pick the page you want, choose where on that page the text should sit, and type your line. The tool then saves a new PDF with the text added.
- Can it fill in a form for me?
- It can drop a line of text onto a form that has no interactive fields, which covers many print-and-scan style forms. You position each line yourself rather than clicking into a field.
- Are there limits on what I can add?
- It adds a single line of text at a chosen spot, so it suits short entries rather than long paragraphs. It also places new text on top of the page and does not edit or replace the words already in the PDF.
