Frequently Asked Questions

5 questions answered

Is this really free with no credit card?

Yes — completely free. No account, no email, no credit card required at any step. Download your edited PDF directly without any paywall or sign-up.

Can I edit scanned PDF documents?

The PDF Editor works best on digital PDFs (text is selectable). For scanned PDFs (images of paper), the whiteout + retype method works — cover the scanned text with a white box and type your correction over it.

What's the difference between this and Adobe Acrobat?

Adobe Acrobat Pro ($19.99/month) has more features — form creation, advanced comments, and certified digital signatures. ImgToolkit covers the most common editing needs (fix typos, update dates, change text, fill in blanks) for free with no account.

Can I add text to a blank area of a PDF?

Yes — click any blank area of the PDF and start typing. Text boxes appear where you click and are embedded in the downloaded PDF.

Does this work on phone?

Yes — the PDF Editor works on iPhone and Android in any mobile browser. The text editing interface adapts to touch screens.
