How it works

Drop your PDF.

Save and download the edited PDF.
Fill in forms that are not fillable, correct a typo, cover details with a whiteout box or highlight important lines. Click on the page to add text, drag to draw a box, then save. Everything stays on your device.
Sometimes you only need to add a line of text to a form, tick a box with an X, cover an old phone number or highlight a clause before sending a PDF back. Edit PDF handles these everyday touch-ups without a heavy desktop editor. Items can be removed individually until you save.
What people use it for
- Fill in a form that has no fillable fields.
- Correct a date or number with whiteout and new text.
- Highlight key clauses before sending feedback.
Tips for best results
- Click once for text, drag for whiteout and highlight.
- Whiteout is not secure redaction; the text underneath remains.
- Use Flatten PDF afterwards to lock the changes.
Your files never leave your device
Unlike most online PDF tools, Intelli File does not upload your documents to a server. Everything runs in your browser using your own device, so contracts, IDs and financial records stay private. Only a small usage counter is sent so we can apply daily limits.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change the existing text?+
You can cover old text with a whiteout box and type new text on top. The original text may still exist underneath, so do not use this to redact sensitive data.
Does it support Chinese and other languages?+
Yes. Text outside the basic Latin set is rendered as an image so any language your device can display works.
Can I undo a change?+
Yes. Remove any item from the list or use Undo before saving.
Is whiteout a safe way to redact?+
No. A whiteout box hides content visually, but the underlying text can still be extracted. Never rely on it for confidential data.
Can I add images?+
Use Sign PDF to place an image such as a signature or stamp.
