Edit PDF Online Free — No Upload, 100% Private
Need to fix a typo in a PDF, add text to a form, or sign a document? Most PDF editors require expensive subscriptions or upload your files to their servers. DragKit's PDF Editor runs entirely in your browser. Edit text, add signatures, and fill forms without uploading a single byte.
✏️ Edit Existing Text
Double-click any text in your PDF to edit it. DragKit detects the font size and position, letting you make corrections directly on the document. Perfect for fixing typos, updating dates, or correcting names.
🩹 Patch & Whiteout
Draw a rectangle over any area to cover it with a white patch, then type new text. Use the font size slider to match the original text. Ideal for redacting information or replacing content.
🔍 OCR for Scanned PDFs
Got a scanned PDF or image-based document? DragKit uses Tesseract.js OCR to detect text in images, letting you edit even non-selectable text. All OCR processing happens locally in your browser.

PDF Editing FAQ
Can I edit any PDF?
DragKit works with standard PDF files. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first. For scanned/image-based PDFs, DragKit uses OCR to detect and enable text editing.
Does it preserve the original formatting?
Yes. DragKit renders your PDF exactly as it appears. When you edit text, DragKit matches the position and approximate font size to blend seamlessly with the original document.
Can I add images to my PDF?
Currently, DragKit supports text patches and signatures (drawn images). Full image insertion is planned for a future update.
Is OCR accurate?
DragKit uses Tesseract.js, the leading open-source OCR engine. Accuracy depends on scan quality — clear, high-resolution scans produce excellent results. All OCR processing is done locally.
Can I fill out PDF forms?
Yes! Use the Patch tool to draw text boxes over form fields, then type your responses. Adjust the font size to match the form's style. Download the filled form as a new PDF.
