Markup a PDF without uploading it

Highlight, add text, draw boxes and white-out pixels directly on the page.

Your files never leave your device

Bindery renders the page on your device and lets you place highlights, text labels, outline boxes and white-out regions with a live visual canvas. Move between pages, undo the latest mark or clear a page before writing the result into a new PDF.

White-out is visual markup, not secure redaction: it covers pixels but does not remove an existing hidden text layer. Use Redact PDF when information must truly disappear. Bindery runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing to delete from a server afterwards.

How it works

  1. Drop the PDF and open Markup & edit
  2. Choose Highlight, Text, White-out or Box and place the marks
  3. Review every page, apply the markup and download the new copy

Questions people ask

Can I edit existing PDF text?

No. Bindery places new text and marks over the page; it does not rewrite existing paragraphs or fonts. A full PDF content editor is better for changing original text.

Does white-out permanently remove sensitive text?

No. White-out hides visible pixels only. The original text layer can remain searchable or extractable, so use the Redact tool for secrets, personal data or legal disclosure.

Is my marked-up PDF uploaded?

No. Page rendering, mark placement and PDF output all happen in your browser.
