Text is easier to read and print.
Most edits to a PDF are last-minute: a missing signature, a highlight for a colleague, a page number on a contract. Change Text Color handles those on the spot without a desktop install, an account or a subscription. Annotated output is flattened into the page, so the recipient sees exactly what you saw regardless of the reader they use.
No upload

No signup
No account, no email, no credit card, no trial to remember.
No watermark
What you download is the real file — clean, unmarked and print-ready.
