Visual PDF overlay editor

Place, move, and resize new text, PNG or JPEG images, and rectangles over existing PDF pages in the browser.

When this tool is useful

Adding a visible note, label, logo, cover mark, or simple shape when the original page artwork should remain underneath.

How local processing works

The selected overlays are drawn at explicit page coordinates and sizes, the page count is retained, and the saved PDF is reopened to verify the new marks. This adds new page content; it does not edit, delete, reflow, or identify original PDF text.

How to use it

  1. Prepare a safe working copy: Keep every source unchanged and review the supported input, controls, and limits before processing. Adding a visible note, label, logo, cover mark, or simple shape when the original page artwork should remain underneath.
  2. Process locally: Run the documented operation in this browser and stop if an unsupported structure is reported. The selected overlays are drawn at explicit page coordinates and sizes, the page count is retained, and the saved PDF is reopened to verify the new marks. This adds new page content; it does not edit, delete, reflow, or identify original PDF text.
  3. Download and verify: Reopen the output in the destination viewer, inspect every overlay at high zoom, confirm page count and placement, and verify that no overlay hides source content unintentionally.

Important limitations

It is not an original-text editor, OCR editor, redaction tool, layer editor, or layout engine. Built-in font coverage is limited, signed PDFs are refused, and links, forms, tags, annotations, and advanced page behavior still need separate checks.

Verify the downloaded result

Reopen the output in the destination viewer, inspect every overlay at high zoom, confirm page count and placement, and verify that no overlay hides source content unintentionally.

Private by design

Your files stay in this browser. The tool does not upload the source or output to our servers.
