How to Fill PDF Forms & Add Text for Free, Without Signup
Not all PDF forms come with fillable fields. If you have a scanned document, a standard PDF application, or a flat invoice, our free tool allows you to type directly onto the document as if you were using a digital typewriter. Best of all, your sensitive documents never leave your computer.
Steps to Add Text to Any PDF:
- Upload Your PDF: Click the upload box or simply drag and drop your document into the page.
- Click & Type: Once the page renders, click exactly where you want to add text. A text box will appear for you to start typing.
- Reposition & Customize: Use the green handle (⠿) next to your text box to drag it into the perfect position. You can also change the font size and text color using the toolbar above the document.
- Navigate Pages: Use the "Next" and "Prev" buttons to fill out multi-page documents. Your text entries are safely remembered for each page.
- Save & Download: Once finished, click "Save filled PDF". We embed genuine PDF text into your file rather than a flat image, meaning your added text remains crisp and professional.
100% Secure & Private
Unlike other PDF editors that upload your private forms (like applications and tax documents) to a remote server, our PDF Form Filler runs entirely inside your web browser. Your data is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone else.
Use PDF Form Fill on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows
On iPhone and Android, pinch to zoom and tap the line where the text should go. On a Mac or Windows PC, click instead. Move a box with the drag handle on any device, then save. The completed PDF goes to your Downloads folder.
When to Use It
Application forms, rental or school forms, tax and bank paperwork, and invoices where you need to add text to an existing PDF.
Tips for Better Results
- Zoom into the page and place the text box right on the line. Use the drag handle for small adjustments.
- Narrow boxes need a smaller font size. Check the toolbar before you type a long entry.
- Look at every page before you save. Text you typed is remembered per page, so it is easy to flip back and fix a line.
- Need a signature too? Save the filled PDF first, then add your signature with PDF Sign.
