About this tool
The everyday edit is small: a total on an invoice, a date on a contract, a name spelled wrong. This tool does it in the browser — the page renders as a preview, every embedded text line is outlined, and clicking a line lets you type its replacement. The original line is covered with the page colour sampled from the rendered pixels around it, and the replacement is written in a standard font fitted to the line and coloured with the sampled text colour.
The page is plain about the limits: on clean documents the match is close, on complex fonts and busy layouts it is an approximation, and the covered original can remain in the text layer — a visual edit, never redaction. Chinese lines are rewritten with an embedded Chinese font (a Noto Sans SC subset) that the page fetches once — only characters outside that font's set, very rare hanzi for example, are honestly marked as cover-only. Your document never leaves the tab.

Frequently asked questions
How does the editing actually work?
The original line is covered with the page colour sampled from the pixels around it, and your replacement is written over it in a standard font matched to the original size and text colour. It looks right on clean documents; complex fonts, gradients and busy layouts are approximations.
Can I delete a line?
Yes. Click the line, clear the replacement box and press Apply — the line is covered and nothing is written in its place.
Is this redaction? Is the original text gone?
No. The cover hides the line visually, but the original text can still be present in the file's text layer. For sensitive content, edit the source document and re-export instead.
Why can some lines not be rewritten?
Replacements are drawn with built-in fonts: the standard font for Latin text, and an embedded Chinese font (a Noto Sans SC subset, downloaded once at about 2.2 MB) for Chinese text. Only replacements holding characters outside both fonts — very rare hanzi or emoji, for example — are skipped and reported; everything else, Chinese lines included, can be rewritten.
Is my document uploaded?
