Click a line, retype it, and it stays in the document's own font. No white box pasted over the old words.
Edit and export for free, as often as you like. Free exports carry a small LanaPDF footer watermark.
Clean exports, no footer watermark 7-day pass or MonthlyThe document work people come to LanaPDF for, shown in the editor. Every edit runs locally in your browser -- the file is never uploaded to a server.
Click into existing PDF text and change it directly. LanaPDF matches the nearby font, size, and styling, so the edit reads like the rest of the document.
Before saving, LanaPDF removes the content underneath a redaction instead of drawing a box over it. You can also flatten the whole document into image pages.
Black out text in a PDF Redact a PDF Redacted text still visible?
Place text anywhere on the page with Text-Snap alignment, then style it using the font, size, and color controls you already know.
Deep Repair flattens every page to a clean image so text that garbles when printed can never bleed through again. Standard Repair rewrites the file structure and keeps the selectable text. Both run locally and reload the repaired copy in place. The whole rebuild is compiled to WebAssembly and executed by your PC’s processor, so repair speed scales with your own hardware instead of a shared server.
Select a chart, a paragraph, or a signature block on one page and drop it onto another. The original spot is filled with the page background, the moved piece becomes part of the document, and the whole file still exports as a normal PDF. No other browser editor moves baked-in page content this way.

PDFs with form fields open ready to fill: type in the boxes, tick checkboxes, pick options, sign and save, and the answers stay in real fields. To make a form fillable, choose Tools → Forms and draw text fields, checkboxes, radio groups and dropdowns, even on a scan or a photo of a paper form.

Type a protected PDF’s password once and edit it like any other file: the text stays real. When you save, keep the password, remove it, or set a new one with AES-256 encryption, and optionally block printing, copying and editing. The encryption runs in your browser, so the unprotected file is never uploaded.
