Annotate a PDF on Your Device

Pen, shapes, and notes for review cycles that should not leave the laptop.

How to annotate a PDF

  1. Open the PDF: Drop the file into the editor.
  2. Mark the page: Use pen, shapes, or text notes to leave review markup.
  3. Save the annotated file: Export a PDF that includes your drawings and notes.

Why this tool

  • Review without a meeting: Circle a figure, arrow a clause, and send a marked file.
  • Stays local: Markup is applied in the browser. The source is not uploaded to annotate.

Frequently asked questions

Are annotations the same as redaction?

No. Annotations add marks. They do not delete the original text. Use Redact PDF to remove content.

Can I flatten markup so it cannot be toggled off?

Use Flatten PDF after you are done reviewing if you need a static copy.
