Add text

Add text to a PDF — type anywhere, privately

Need to write on a PDF — a name, a date, a note in a margin? Click anywhere on the page, type your text, and style it with custom fonts, sizes, and colors. Everything is processed in your browser, so the document stays on your device from open to export.

Open the editor — it's free

No sign-up. No upload. Your file never leaves your device.

    Pick the Text tool, click where the text should go, and type. Adjust font, size, and color in the panel.

  3. 3

    Export

    Download the PDF with your text permanently embedded. The original file is never modified.

Frequently asked

Can I edit existing text in the PDF?

Signet adds new text on top of the document (annotations) — ideal for filling in fields, names, dates, and notes. It does not rewrite text already embedded in the PDF.

Which fonts can I use?

A set of clean UI fonts in any size and color. Text is embedded into the exported PDF exactly as you see it on screen.

Is there a watermark or page limit?

No watermark, no page limit, no paywall. Signet is free and open source.
