How to whiteout part of a PDF
Open the PDF
Click Whiteout a PDF and choose the file. It opens in Edit mode.
Cover the mistake
Choose Whiteout and drag a box over the content. It is white by default; change the fill colour in the panel if the page is tinted.
Type the correction and download
Use Text to type over the box in a matching font, then press Download PDF.
Clean corrections
Any colour
Whiteout boxes can be any colour, so they disappear on coloured or grey backgrounds.
Retype in place
The Edit text tool does both steps at once: click a line, and it is covered and retyped in a matching size and colour.
Resize and move
Boxes are objects: drag, resize, duplicate, undo.
Works on scans
Cover a stamp or handwriting on a scanned page as easily as typed text.
Stays a text PDF
Unlike redaction, whiteout does not flatten the page: the rest of the text stays selectable.
Redact when it matters
For anything confidential, use Redact instead, which removes the content from the file.
Questions about this tool
Does whiteout remove the text underneath?
No. It covers it. The original text is still in the file and could be copied by someone who looks. For sensitive information use Redact, which removes it.
Can I make the box match a coloured background?
Yes. Change the fill colour of the whiteout box in the properties panel; the colour picker includes an eyedropper in browsers that support it.
How do I replace the covered text?
Use the Text tool to type over the box, or use Edit text, which covers and retypes a line of text in one click.
Will the recipient see the box?
A white box on a white page is invisible in every reader; the download is a normal PDF.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up, no page limit and no watermark.
Ready?
It opens in a second. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
