Adding a text box to a PDF lets you annotate documents, fill in blank form fields, add labels to diagrams, or insert missing information anywhere on the page. Here is how to do it for free directly in your browser.
Go to pdfeditor.onl/pdf-studio. This is the full PDF editor with text, drawing, and annotation tools. No sign-up required.
Click to upload or drag your PDF in. All pages will render as an editable canvas.
Click the Text (T) tool from the toolbar. Click anywhere on the page to place a text box at that position.
Tip: Click directly on the area where you want to add the text — the text box appears at the exact point you click. You can drag it afterward to fine-tune the position.
Type your text. Use the formatting toolbar to set font family, size, color, and alignment (left, center, right). Bold and italic options are available for emphasis.
Click Download PDF. The text box is permanently embedded in the PDF as a real text object — selectable and printable in any PDF reader.
Yes. Click the Text tool and click a new position for each additional text box. Each is independently positioned and styled.
