The PDF editor
that doesn't break your fonts.

Replace text, drop a signature, add a note to a Stripe receipt — every font, size, color, and image stays exactly as the original. Other tools turn your whole document into Helvetica. This one doesn't.

What's different

Built for the PDFs you actually deal with — not idealised ones.

Per-character font preservation

PDFs ship with subsetted fonts — only the glyphs they actually drew. When your edit needs a character that wasn't in the subset, only that one character falls back. The rest stays in the original face.

Bundled: Inter, Roboto, Open Sans, Source Sans, Lato, Merriweather, Lora, JetBrains Mono and 7 others. Stripe, Google Workspace, Notion, and Adobe PDFs all look right out of the box.

Click, type, drag

Click any text on the rendered page to edit it inline. The Add text tool drops new content anywhere. Insert image takes a signature or logo file. Everything you add is draggable; everything you do is undoable with Cmd-Z.

Live preview re-renders as you type. Compare-original toggle flips between your edits and the source so you can verify before downloading.

Private by default

Uploads auto-delete within an hour. Nothing is shared, nothing is trained on, no third-party storage. The session you start is the only copy.

Per-IP session caps and rate limits prevent abuse without getting in your way. Edits live in your browser until you save and download.
How it works

Three steps. About sixty seconds.

1

Drop a PDF

Receipt, invoice, contract, scanned form — any PDF up to 32 MB. PDFsmith reads every text span with its actual font, size, color, and position.

2

Edit, add, sign

Click a piece of text to change it. Add new lines anywhere. Drop in a signature image. Drag anything to reposition. The live preview shows exactly what the downloaded file will look like.

3

Save & download

You get back a real PDF — not a re-render. Forms, metadata, and untouched pages stay intact. The session deletes itself after an hour.

Stop fighting Helvetica.

Sign in and edit your first PDF. The first edit takes less than a minute and you'll feel why we built this.
