A scanned page is a picture of a document, so you cover the old text with a clean white block and type new text over it. Everything happens in your browser — no upload, no account. Free to edit; pay a one-time $1 only when you download.
Open your PDF to start Free to edit · no account · $1 only when you downloadLet's be straight about what a scanned PDF is: each page is an image, a photo of the paper. There are no editable letters underneath, so no tool can click into a scanned line and retype it directly — and we won't pretend otherwise. What actually works is layering: drop a white block over the old text to hide it, then type the corrected text on top. Do that on a form, an invoice or a contract and the finished page looks clean and prints straight.
This editor gives you exactly the layers you need for a scan. Whiteout covers what's wrong, the text tool adds crisp new characters in any size or colour, notes flag questions for whoever reads it next, and the signature tool lets you draw or type your name on the dotted line. Because scans are usually images from someone else, being able to add your own text and mark on top is the whole job — you rarely need to touch the original pixels at all.
The important part: your scan never leaves the device. It opens in the browser and stays there — nothing is sent to a server, so a payslip, medical form or ID scan isn't sitting in someone's cloud. There's no sign-up and no card saved on file. You edit as much as you like for free, and the single $1 charge only applies when you export the final PDF. No subscription, no watermark, no monthly bill.
