How it works

- 2Click Edit text, then click any text to change it, or use the other tools to add content.

Change text that is already in the PDF
Select Edit text and click any line. Folio covers the original words with a matching background and lets you type the replacement in a similar font, size and colour.
The new text uses a standard font such as Helvetica or Times, so it may differ slightly from the original. For most documents, like forms, invoices and letters, the change is hard to spot.
Everything else you can add
- Text boxes in any size, colour and style
- Signatures, drawn, typed or uploaded
- Images and logos
- Highlights, freehand drawing, rectangles, circles, lines and arrows
- Check marks, crosses and today's date
- Whiteout to hide content, and redaction to remove it permanently

Frequently asked questions
Is Folio really free?+
Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no sign-up, no trial and no watermark on your pages.
Can I really edit the existing text?+
Yes. Click any horizontal line of text with the Edit text tool and type. Your new text is written in its place and the original is covered, but it still exists in the file underneath. To remove sensitive text for good, use Redact.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?+
No. Folio opens and edits your PDF inside your browser. The file never leaves your device, so nothing is stored on a server and nobody else can see it.
Does Folio add a watermark?+
No. Your downloaded PDF contains only your document and your changes.
Can I edit a scanned PDF?+
A scan is an image, so there is no text to click. You can still add text, whiteout, signatures and drawings on top of it.
