About This Tool

PDF Add Text lets you place custom text annotations anywhere on a PDF page. Whether you need to add a note, fill in a form field that is not interactive, stamp a date, or label a diagram, this tool gives you precise control over text placement, font, size, and color. Upload your PDF, navigate to the page you want to annotate, click where you want the text to appear, and type your content.

The tool renders a full preview of each PDF page so you can position your text with accuracy. Adjust the font size, choose between standard fonts like Helvetica, Times Roman, and Courier, and pick any color using the color picker. You can add multiple text blocks to the same page or across different pages before generating the final PDF.

All processing happens in your browser using pdf-lib. The text is embedded directly into the PDF document structure, not as a separate layer or image. The result is a clean, professional PDF with your annotations permanently baked in, ready for download, sharing, or printing.
