What you can change

This editor is ideal for filling in forms that aren’t interactive, adding notes or labels, inserting a logo, and covering mistakes or sensitive details with white-out boxes. Everything you add is written permanently into the PDF, so it looks the same in every viewer.

About white-out

A white-out box hides content visually. The original text underneath still exists in the file, so for truly confidential information, use a redaction tool that removes the underlying text — or print and re-scan the page.

Limitations

We’d rather be upfront about what this tool can’t do yet:

  • Existing text in the PDF can’t be edited in place — cover it with white-out and add new text on top.
  • Added text supports Latin characters (including accents); use an image for other scripts.
  • Form fields and annotations from other apps are kept but not editable here.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device, so your files are never sent to FreeToolsDaily or anyone else.

Can I edit the existing text of a PDF?

Not directly. PDFs store text as positioned drawing commands, not editable paragraphs. Use white-out to hide old text and add new text above it, or convert the PDF to Word.

Is white-out the same as redaction?

No. White-out covers content visually but the text remains in the file. Don’t rely on it to hide passwords, account numbers or legal secrets.

Does it work on phones?

Yes — drag items with your finger and use the blue dot to resize.
