Why pdf2kit
Edit private documents without uploading them
Contracts, forms, invoices and scans often should not sit on a stranger's server. pdf2kit lets you mark up and sign your PDFs on your own computer, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored. It is free to use, with no account and no watermark on the result.
FAQ
Editing PDFs: common questions
Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?
pdf2kit adds new text, notes and marks on top of the page; it does not re-flow the original typeset text. To replace something, cover it with a filled rectangle and type the new text on top. For notes, form-filling and signing, adding on top is all you need.
What can I add to a page?
Text, a freehand pen, a highlighter, lines and arrows, rectangles and ellipses (outline or filled), images and logos, and your signature. Each mark has its own colour, thickness and opacity.
Can I move or remove a mark after I add it?
Yes. Click any mark to select it, then drag to move it, pull a corner to resize it, or delete it. Nothing is final until you download.
Are my edits saved into the PDF?
Yes. When you download, every mark, text box, image and signature is baked into the pages of a new PDF, so it looks the same in any reader.
Are my files uploaded when I edit them?
No. All editing happens in the page on your device. Your PDF is never sent to a server.
