Draw on PDF
How freehand drawing on PDFs works and what we support.
What Pdflify can and cannot do here
Full freehand annotation with an interactive page canvas is on our roadmap. What Pdflify can do today is place precise marks on a page.
1. Draw and place a signature
/tools/pdf-signature/ gives you a real freehand drawing pad and stamps the result onto the page.
2. Add shapes or highlights
/tools/add-shapes-to-pdf/ and /tools/highlight-pdf/ place rectangles, lines and highlight blocks at coordinates you choose.
3. Add text
/tools/add-text-to-pdf/ writes a text line anywhere on the page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Draw on PDF free to use?
Yes. Every tool on Pdflify is free and needs no account.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool reads and rewrites your file inside your browser tab using JavaScript, so the document itself never leaves your device.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The workspace is responsive and works with touch, though very large files depend on your device's memory.
What if my PDF is password protected?
Encrypted files cannot be opened in the browser. Open the file with its password in your PDF reader, save an unprotected copy, then try again.
