Edit existing text in text-based PDFs, search and replace across pages, run OCR on scanned files, then add highlights, whiteout erase areas, extra text, date or approval stamps, logos, screenshots, and signatures with rotation and opacity controls in one local-first editor.

Text PDFs become directly editable. Scanned PDFs can be OCR'd first.
Upload a PDF. Doclair scans the text layer and marks editable text regions automatically.
If any page is image-based, run OCR first. Doclair will detect editable text blocks for those scanned pages.
Click existing text to edit, then add highlights, whiteout erase areas, new text boxes, quick date or stamp inserts, images, or signatures where needed.
Use Select to move or resize the overlays you added, then download the finished PDF with everything written back locally in the browser.
Text-based PDFs are the best fit: Doclair can target existing text regions directly and save your changes back as new PDF text at the same location. Scanned PDFs need OCR first, and their accuracy depends on scan quality and language choice.
Rare embedded fonts may be matched to the closest standard PDF font on export. That keeps the file lightweight and searchable, but some visual drift can still happen in dense layouts or heavily designed documents.
For deeply reflowed editing, full document redesign, or exact font preservation across every edge case, a desktop PDF editor can still be stronger. For fast local edits, resumes, contracts, invoices, forms, logos, and signatures, this workflow is built to get you there without uploads.
