PDFixo · Online PDF editor

Edit existing PDF text online.

Open a PDF, click selectable text, change it and download the result. The first 3 pages are available on the free tier.

How to edit PDF text

  1. Keep the original file, then open the PDF editor and choose your PDF.
  2. Select the text region you want to change and enter the replacement.
  3. Adjust its size or position where needed, especially when the replacement is longer.
  4. Use Preview to compare the changed text, nearby content, names and numbers with the source.
  5. Download a separate edited copy through the website’s current account and access checks. Open that downloaded PDF and inspect it before sharing.

Sign-in is required before downloading. Check current free limits and paid access before processing a larger document.

Can’t select the text?

A scanned page may contain a picture of text rather than selectable characters. A restricted PDF may also prevent editing. Read why PDF text cannot be selected to identify the right workflow before repeating an edit.

If you need an editable Word document from a scan, use PDF to Word with OCR. Compare recognized names, dates, amounts and table values against the source; OCR is not a guarantee of exact transcription.

Existing text editing

For digitally generated PDFs, the editor detects text regions, lets you replace or delete selected text and provides manual controls for font family, size, colour, background, bold, italic and underline.

Scanned PDF OCR

Scanned pages can be recognized with English, Hindi or mixed OCR. Detected word boxes become selectable replacement regions.

Images, signatures and annotations

Add and move images, draw or type a signature, highlight content, draw shapes and comments, and create fillable text/date/checkbox fields.

Secure redaction

The secure workflow raster-flattens affected pages after applying redaction, rather than leaving selectable source text hidden behind a simple black overlay.

Page management

Reorder, delete, duplicate, rotate, insert, import and extract pages from within the editing workspace.

Clear workflow

Edit, review and download with straightforward controls designed around the document you already have.

Change the document you already have.
