Everything runs in your browser, so your file is never uploaded.
Can it edit the PDF's existing text?
Yes. Turn on ‘Edit text’ and click any text to erase that spot and retype it. This is free for Pro members, otherwise 3 credits per download. It covers the original with the background color and draws the new text in the same spot, so it works best on solid-background (e.g. white) documents.
Does Korean work?
Yes — all languages and emoji are supported.

PDF & Documents
Add text directly onto any PDF
Sometimes you just need to write on a PDF: fill in a form, add a note, sign off a date, or label a diagram, without converting the whole file or buying an editor. This annotator lets you click anywhere on a page to place text, then drag it into position and adjust the size and color. When you are done it saves a flattened PDF with your text baked in, and the whole thing happens in your browser so the document stays private.

Zoom in to place text precisely on forms
Pick a high-contrast color so notes stay readable

Common fixes
Text in the wrong spot? Drag it before exporting
Hard to read? Increase the font size or change the color
Need a signature image instead of text? Use a PDF that already contains it
Private by design
Annotation runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded, stored, or shared, so sensitive forms and documents stay on your device.
