  • Actually delete and change existing text → Edit tool

Step by step (Android and iPhone)

  1. Open the tool in your browser: Open the tool page in your phone browser (Chrome/Safari) — no install.

Annotate PDF on Your Phone — Add text, sign, annotate — on your phone, no app, free.

Is my file safe?

Annotating and signing happen entirely in your phone's browser (on your device); the PDF isn't uploaded and stays 100% private. Only true text deletion/editing runs on a server, and the file isn't stored after processing.

For a signature, sign once on white paper and upload the photo; the tool cleans the background and places it on the document. After filling and signing, you can email or WhatsApp it straight from your phone.
