Why SynthPDF?

✏️

Text with font controls

Add text in Helvetica, Times New Roman, or Courier New — choose size, color, bold, and italic. Text is embedded as real PDF text, not an image.

🖼️

Insert images

Drop a PNG or JPEG onto any page. Position it anywhere — perfect for adding logos, stamps, or diagrams.

🖊️

Shapes and drawings

Draw rectangles, circles, arrows, lines, and freehand pencil marks in any color and line width.

🔒

Browser-only — no upload

Everything runs in your browser. Files never leave your device — safe for confidential documents.

🎨

Highlight tool

Drag to highlight any region in yellow, green, blue, or pink.

Instant download

Edits are applied in seconds client-side. No server round-trip — no waiting.
