Details

Good
to know.

Scans, fixed carefully
When you correct a word in a scan, only the changed characters are repainted, matched to the surrounding ink and paper. Always check the preview — it's a close match, not a guarantee.
Visual signatures
Draw or upload your signature and place it on the page. It's an image of your signature, not a cryptographic digital signature.
Whiteout isn't redaction
Whiteout covers content visually. The original is still inside the file, so don't use it to hide sensitive information.
Keyboard friendly
Ctrl/⌘+Z undoes, Ctrl/⌘+Shift+Z redoes, Delete removes the selection and Escape returns to the Select tool.

FAQ

Questions
answered.

01Can I edit text in a scanned PDF?

Yes. Click Recognize text — the page is read with OCR on your device — then click any word to correct it. The change is painted to match the surrounding scan as closely as possible; always check the preview.

02Is the signature legally binding?

It's a visual signature — an image of your signature placed on the page. It is not a cryptographic digital signature.

03Does whiteout remove the text underneath?

No. Whiteout visually covers content; the original is still inside the file. It is not secure redaction.

04Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The editor, OCR included, runs entirely in your browser.
