Place custom text exactly where you need it
PDFEzy's free Add Text to PDF tool lets you type and drop text onto any page of a document. It's the quickest way to fill in a flat form that has no fillable fields, jot a note in the margin, label a diagram, or add a date and reference to a contract. You decide which page the text lands on and exactly where it sits, so the result looks clean and intentional rather than scribbled.
You stay in full control of how the text appears: choose the page number, the position, the color, the size and the alignment so it blends naturally with the rest of the document. Every change is applied directly in your browser, so your file is never uploaded — there are no watermarks, no sign-ups and no limits.
Why add text to PDFs in your browser?
- Private by design: text is added locally and your file never leaves your computer or phone.
- Full control: set the exact page, position, color, size and alignment of every line.
- Works on any device: add text on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or iOS straight from your browser.
