How it works

Add text to your PDF in four steps

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Drag and drop your PDF onto the tool or click to browse. The file is loaded directly in your browser — it is never sent to any server.

  2. 2

    Choose text or date

    Switch between 'Text' mode to type custom content, or 'Date' mode to stamp today's date. Set the font size and color in the toolbar.

  3. 3

    Click to place on a page

    Click anywhere on any page to place your text or date stamp exactly where you want it. Hover over a placed item and click the red × to remove it.

  4. 4

    Download the PDF

    Click 'Download PDF' to save the document with your text permanently burned in using Helvetica — readable in every PDF viewer.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I change the font or size?
You can set the font size (from 8pt to 24pt) and color before placing text. The font is Helvetica, a standard PDF font that requires no embedding and displays consistently in every viewer.
Can I add text to a scanned PDF?
Yes — scanned PDFs are image-based and this tool treats them the same as any other PDF. Your text is placed as a layer on top of the page image.
Is the text permanent after download?
Yes. The text is drawn directly into the PDF page content and cannot be removed with a standard viewer. It is not an annotation or an overlay that can be toggled off.
Can I undo a placement before downloading?
Yes — hover over any placed text item and click the red × button to remove it before you download.
Is there a limit to how much text I can add?
No hard limit. You can add as many text items as you need across as many pages as you like.
