Everything you need
A serious editor, without the usual fluff.
The features you actually use, built to run locally and produce a clean PDF. No subscriptions, no uploaded files, no surprises.
Images and shapes
Drag in photos, logos and signatures. Add rectangles, ellipses and lines with custom fill and border.
Pen and signature
Draw freehand or sign with a trackpad, mouse or finger. The signature is inserted as a transparent image.
Highlight and correct
Highlight passages with multiply blending. Cover old data with whiteout and type over it.
Pages under control
Reorder, rotate, delete and insert blank pages. Changes apply to the final file, not just the view.
Vector export
Original pages stay vector. Text, shapes and images are written as native PDF content.

PdfCanvas is a browser-based PDF editor for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Open a PDF, rewrite existing text, add images, shapes and signatures, then download a clean, vector PDF. No upload, no account, no watermark.
Use it for contracts, invoices, forms, reports and any PDF with a real text layer. Rendering runs with PDF.js, export with pdf-lib and original text editing with PDFium. Everything stays in the tab.
How it works
Open. Fix. Download.
Three steps, zero waiting. The PDF opens instantly because it does not have to travel anywhere.

example.ts
import { PdfCanvas } from "pdfcanvas";
// self-host the worker
const editor = new PdfCanvas(el, {
workerSrc: "/pdfjs/pdf.worker.min.mjs",
});
await editor.load(file);
editor.addText(80, 120, { text: "Hello!" });
await editor.download();
FAQ
Sensible questions, short answers.
If something is missing, write on GitHub. The project is public and issues are welcome.
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
No. PdfCanvas reads, edits and exports the document entirely in the browser. The file is never sent to a server: you can verify it in the Network tab of your developer tools.
Is it really free?
Yes. The site and the library are open source under the MIT license. There are no accounts, subscriptions, daily limits or watermarks.
Can I edit text that is already in the PDF?
Yes, when the PDF contains real text: PdfCanvas uses PDFium, the same engine as Chrome's PDF viewer, and writes the text back into the original object. If the font cannot encode the new characters, the text is covered and reinserted as vector. Scans need OCR.
Which browsers are supported?
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and mobile. PdfCanvas uses standard Canvas, IndexedDB and Web Workers.
Can I use the library in my project?
Yes. The library is called pdfcanvas and is published on npm under the MIT license. It exposes a framework-free TypeScript API.
Do files stay available after closing?
No. For privacy we keep nothing. If you reload the page, open the PDF again: unsaved changes are lost. Download the result before leaving.
