Edit PDF in Safari
Edit PDF directly in Safari with ContinuePDF — no extension and no separate app, on both Mac and iPhone/iPad. The tool is built to Safari's standards and respects its privacy-first design, processing your PDF on your device rather than in the cloud. It fits naturally into Apple's ecosystem, pulling files from Finder on a Mac or the Files app on iOS.

What you can do with Edit PDF
Editing lets you change a finished PDF in place — adding text, images, shapes, highlights, or a signature — without going back to the original document it was created from.
Fill a non-fillable form
Type directly onto a PDF form that has no interactive fields, then download it ready to send.
Fix a small mistake
Cover a wrong date or add a missing line without recreating the whole document or asking the sender for a new copy.
Annotate for review
Highlight passages, add comments, and draw arrows on a draft before sending feedback to a colleague.
Add a logo or note
Drop an image, stamp, or short note onto a page — handy for letterheads, a PAID mark, or an approval.
Edit PDF in Safari, the Apple way
Safari is engineered around privacy and efficiency, and a good PDF tool should match that. ContinuePDF does: it runs entirely within Safari using standard web technology, so your PDF stays on your Apple device and is never uploaded to a server — in keeping with the private-by-default philosophy Safari users expect.
It also behaves the way Safari users expect across devices. On a Mac you can drag your PDF in from Finder and the edited PDF lands in Downloads; on iPhone or iPad you pull files from the Files app or iCloud Drive and save the result straight back. No extension, no app, and nothing that leaves the Apple ecosystem.
Why choose ContinuePDF
No extension
Runs as a normal page in Safari — nothing to add.
Mac & iOS
Works in Safari on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Privacy-first
Matches Safari's private-by-default approach — files stay on-device.
Finder & Files
Integrates with Finder on Mac and the Files app on iOS.
Pro tip
Add text near existing lines rather than trying to overwrite them, and match the font size to the surrounding text so additions blend in. For anything you will reuse — a signature or logo — keep the source image handy so it stays consistent across documents.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit text that is already in the PDF?
You can add new text, cover existing content, and place images or annotations on top. Rewriting the existing body text depends on how the PDF was made; adding a text box over the area is the reliable way to make corrections.
Will my edits be permanent in the file?
Yes. When you download the edited PDF, your additions are baked into the document so they appear the same way for anyone who opens it.
Does Edit PDF work in Safari?
Yes, fully — on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Edit PDF runs as a standard web page in Safari with no extension needed. Add your PDF and download edited PDF right from the browser.
Is it private in Safari?
Yes. In line with Safari's privacy-first design, ContinuePDF processes your PDF on your device and never uploads it, so your documents stay within your control.
Is ContinuePDF free to use?
Yes. ContinuePDF and all of its tools, including Edit PDF, are free with no signup required. Because documents are processed in your browser rather than on our servers, we can offer the full feature set at no cost.
