How to use Edit PDF safely
Place new text, images and shapes on your PDF pages without uploading them. Work on copies and retain the original documents. Files stay on your device; batches are processed sequentially to reduce memory use.
Select a page, draw a placement area or enter its coordinates, then add an overlay. Arabic text is rendered with browser fonts. Existing content is not rewritten. A rectangle is not secure redaction; use the dedicated redaction tool for removing information. The operation runs on your device: HugPDF does not send the document, its contents or a password to a processing server. You can keep the source file and inspect the new copy before sharing it.
It works in modern desktop and mobile browsers. Processing time depends on the file size and your device, so keep the page open until the download is ready and review the output before relying on it.
For the best result: Review the output before sharing. Use smaller batches on phones. The preview is a guide, not a guarantee that every source detail can be recovered.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I change existing PDF text?
This editor adds overlays. It does not replace or reflow the original text.
Does Arabic text work?
Yes. Added text is drawn using browser fonts and embedded as an image, so it is visible but not selectable text.
Can I remove sensitive information with a rectangle?
No. Covered content can remain underneath. Use Redact PDF when information must be removed.
What happens to digital signatures?
Editing creates a new copy and may invalidate existing digital signatures. Keep the signed original.
