Chrome extension

Edit the real text in any PDF. 100% on your device.

Overtype is a PDF text editor that runs inside Chrome. No uploads, no accounts, no tracking.

Edit the real text

Click any paragraph and type. The words re-wrap in the document's own font, so the page still looks like the original.

Redaction removes the letters themselves, then verifies they're gone — not a black box laid over readable text.

No file is ever uploaded. Every edit and export happens locally in your browser, with no account and no tracking.

One toolbox for real documents — all of it running locally.

Click, type, and the text re-flows in place.

Drop new text anywhere on the page.

Movable cover boxes with adjustable colour and opacity.

Delete the underlying characters, then verify.

Add text fields and checkboxes anyone can fill in, then flatten when done.

Rectangles, ellipses, lines, arrows, highlights, a freehand pen, and drawn or uploaded signatures.

Insert, move, and resize images.

Merge PDFs, split to separate files, insert or delete pages, crop, and resize to Letter or A4.

Compress before you send.

Grayscale, sepia, or black & white.

Reads the words off a scan on your computer so you can search and edit them.

Finish documents properly.
